I am not aware of any change in the kernel. I think it simply never worked since we use Unicode for the console. .. Or are you aware of any distro we shipped where it worked well in UTF-8 mode?
You are right, it newer worked. I tried with a 10.2 kernel and it *seems* to work there: The 'š' (U+0161 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON) key displays a 'š' on the console, but the application gets 0xc2 0xb9 (the latin2 code for 'š' encoded to UTF8), instead of the correct 0xc5 0xa1 code.

I'm not sure about iso07u and iso09: is it correct to use 8859-7 and 8859-9?
And even more I'm confused with cyrillic - currently we have this mapping in yast:
// LANG font unicode map screen map, magic "ru_RU.KOI8-R" : [ "Cyr_a8x16.psfu", "", "koi2alt", "(K" ], "ru" : [ "Cyr_a8x16.psfu", "", "koi2alt", "(K" ], "ru_RU.UTF-8" : [ "Cyr_a8x16.psfu", "", "trivial", "(K" ],
Now, what should be the screen map for ru_RU.UTF-8?
I really don't know (I don't know Russian), when I tried the other day, it seemed to work (it displayed some Russian characters) with the trivial map, but I might have fallen to a similar trap as above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
