From: Samuel Thibault Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 16:17:54 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Console is utf-8 by default X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc7~10 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ecb77fa96ceda9cae88015bfe3293ffe19006159;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git Console is utf-8 by default The console is now by default in UTF-8 mode. Fix the documentation on the default value, so that we can explain behaviour that otherwise causes bug-reports like this: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9319 Also add the needed "vt." prefix, so that the boot-time config options to switch back to the legacy 8-bit mode is actually documented correctly.
