Subject: [PATCH] vt: provide notifications on selection changes
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 17:07:21 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1501231636200.1322@knanqh.ubzr> (raw)
The vcs device's poll/fasync support relies on the vt notifier to signal
changes to the screen content. Notifier invocations were missing for
changes that comes through the selection interface though. Fix that.
Tested with BRLTTY 5.2.

Greg: Would be highly convenient to have this patch applied to the
stable tree as well to help affected blind Linux users via distro
updates. Yet it took a while before this issue was discovered. Your
call.
