Subject: Re: [PATCH] console keyboard mapping broken by 04c71976

Err, at quick look it looks to me rather like a bug kbd, which doesn't
cope with the console being in unicode mode.  Which distribution are you
using?

In unicode mode, k_self is really meant to hold unicode values (there is
no other way to provide an arbitrary unicode value in keyboard maps),
and thus kbd should translate KT_LETTER's value from the map file's
encoding (set by the charset directive) to unicode.
