Hi, Egmont got some UTF-8 fixes in mainline, Andrew Morton suggested it might be a good time to remember about bug 7746 Support for unicode dead keys: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7746 :
« Quoting a mail from Vojtech Pavlik: "Several languages (polish, czech, slovak, ...) use dead keys (keys that don't do anything per se, but put an accent on the next letter). And now almost everyone is switching to unicode. And Linux kernel doesn't support unicode for dead keys. This means trouble." (full mail at http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0405.3/1387.html) And indeed, see http://bugs.debian.org/404503 There is a more recent patch proposed on http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.2/1723.html Is there any objection to the proposed way? (extending the internal type, and add a new ioctl for uploading unicode dead keys). » Samuel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
