I tried to use the Xen serial console, as described in http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console . I also used the resulting xvc0 device as a console of the DOM0 Linux. Everything was working fine, and I could explore the features of the Xen console. Almost everything... Finally I discovered, that when logging in to Linux on the serial console, I could not use german umlauts. It seemed as if the most significant bit was masked off during input. After a long search, what I was doing wrong I saw this line of code inside the Xen serial driver: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=xen/drivers/char/serial.c;h=c583a48c0823e7bf2619a1a63f05da3bfbd20e3d;hb=HEAD#l300OK, this explains the behaviour. But what is the intention of this line? Shouldn't this actually be something like if (handle & SERHND_HI) { c &= 0x7f; } return c; -- Manfred HÃrtel, DB3HM mailto:Manfred.Haertel@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://rz-home.de/mhaertel _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
