Hi,

Currently even when the cursor is disabled (`setterm -cursor off`), it
is still repainted as a black rectangle the size of a single char. This
can be seen, for example, by chvt'ing to a free tty, disabling the
cursor and doing `dd if=3D/dev/urandom of=3D/dev/fb0`.

The patch changes this behaviour by avoiding painting anything when the
cursor is disabled.
