Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2007-09-01 19:08:06 UTC 
Currently, default value for RC_TTY_NUMBER in /etc/conf.d/rc is set to 11, this makes console 12 not work with utf8 by default (after starting keymaps service). 

This console is used, for example, when syslog is configured to drop logs here, and gnome (and others) leave utf8 messages here that are not properly shown if RC_TTY_NUMBER is not set to 12

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always

really, a better argument would have been "most keyboards out there have 12 F keys" ;)
Comment 3 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-09-02 13:19:05 UTC 
Fixed in baselayout-2.0.0_rc4, thanks
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2009-07-20 15:50:30 UTC 
Can you please apply this to baselayout-1*? It is still valid and seems that baselayout-2/openrc won't go stable any time soon (or not that soon...)

Thanks
