From: Michael Schutte Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 20:31:03 +0100 Subject: Change misleading kbd_mode message for XLATE mode Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/546712 Forwarded: no The text said "default (ASCII) mode", which is wrong in two respects: XLATE isn't limited to 7-bit ASCII, but works with various 8-bit charsets, and the XLATE mode hasn't been the kernel default for a while. Thanks for the hint go to Samuel Thibault . The usage of kbd_mode together with grep in shell scripts might become an issue with this commit, though cursory research with codesearch.google.com shows only the BiCon project , which does "kbd_mode | grep -q -i Unicode" and is thus unaffected. --- src/kbd_mode.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/kbd_mode.c b/src/kbd_mode.c index 076c763..ccf0056 100644 --- a/src/kbd_mode.c +++ b/src/kbd_mode.c @@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ fprint_mode(FILE *stream, int mode) fprintf(stream, _("The keyboard is in mediumraw (keycode) mode")); break; case K_XLATE: - fprintf(stream, _("The keyboard is in the default (ASCII) mode")); + fprintf(stream, _("The keyboard is in xlate (8-bit) mode")); break; case K_UNICODE: fprintf(stream, _("The keyboard is in Unicode (UTF-8) mode"));
