Comment(by splotz90):
Second correction:
"'''''It also converts the input from the keyboard.'''''"
and
"'''keyboard --> scancode --> kernel keymap (unicode output) --> unicode
console map (8859-1 output) --> program'''''''"
isn't true.
If we're in ASCII mode (kdb_mode -a) the application will always get the 8
bit value from the keymap. Example: It will always receive E4 (hex) if I'm
pressing "ä" on the keyboard. The unicode console map doesn't influence
this value.
If we're in unicode mode (kdb_mode -u) the application will receive the
UTF-8 value.
But the rest of my ticket should be true ... ;-)
