User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.3i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi! There are few must-fix bugs in cursor handling: echo -e '\33[?8c' ...should turn block cursor on on current console. It does so, but if you switch to another console, block cursor appears there too, and/or it reverts to line cursor on original console. echo -e "\33[?18;0;136c" ...should turn on softcursor (see Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt). It does turn it on, but it fails to erase it once cursor moves! [Type foo in bash, then press backspace three times]. Play with gpm selection for a while and your cursor gets corrupted with random dots. Ouch. Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees? [Johanka's followup: and *two* hearts?]
