Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Alan Cox <alan@...ux.intel.com> Subject: VT Improvements Greetings! I would like to know about the VT plans. Historically, keymap implementations are similar in the kernel and kbd project. I rewrote it in kbd. So, it can handle keycodes bigger than 255. In a kernel everything remained as before. I want to fix this part in a kernel. As pluses will be: * opportunity to define keycode > 255. * opportunity to reduce this table a kernel in most cases. I would like to ask your opinion about my plans because I heard about the thought of moving this functionality to user space. Whether it is worth starting so large-scale changes? -- Rgrds, legion -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
