From ecb77fa96ceda9cae88015bfe3293ffe19006159 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org> Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 16:17:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
