Subject: [PATCH] fb: hide cursor in graphics mode
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:33:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46e1c7760901230433i3045f273oa109ce97e790bca3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 789 bytes --]
Xserver Xfbdev (kdrive) uses linux framebuffer in graphics mode. It doesn't
need the text mode cursor, it's a bit annoying to have it there sitting in a
corner. This patch disables the cursor even when in graphics mode.

The testing is done on kernel version 2.6.18.
