From 9fc3de9c83565fcaa23df74c2fc414bb6e7efb0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arthur Taylor Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 13:55:50 -0800 Subject: vt: Add virtual console keyboard mode OFF virtual console: add keyboard mode OFF Add a new mode for the virtual console keyboard OFF in which all input other than shift keys is ignored. Prevents vt input buffers from overflowing when a program opens but doesn't read from a tty, like X11 using evdev for input.
