Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Doing it that way means that any program running on a host whose terminfo is so configured, would force UTF-8 mode on, when it issues a reset to a Linux console, regardless of which machine that is on (e.g. telnet, ssh,...). Furthermore, it would do so regardless of whether we want UTF-8 mode, or not. Again with my patch it is a user configurable matter whether they want UTF-8 or not. This terminfo entry forces it to happen. That said, I am planning a whole bunch of other changes to terminfo; my repeated wrestling with xterm recently on the regard of modified cursor keys (e.g. Ctrl+left) has lead me to conclude the whole system needs a bit of an overhaul... But that's somewhat off-topic to the kernel.. :) -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/[unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | ||||||||||
