But current vt code is too bugy, too many direct assumes about vt buffer, This makes me so hard to hack. There is TODO telling me to add UNICODE support, but no room for such code, that's why my patch is so tricky. And the code itself, if you'll excuse me, it isn't as beautiful as rest of the kernel. So, it really really need a clean rewrite.I'm ganna take is hard job. And, please tell me if is worth to do so. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
