Subject: [PATCH 0 of 2] fbcon: blinking text fix and implementation
Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:38:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <486A4F5F.7030506@eu.citrix.com> (raw)

Hi all,
I have recently found out that there is a small bug in fbcon handling
the background color.
The forth bit of the background color is the blink property bit, not the
intensity bit, as for the foreground color.
Therefore it shouldn't be included in the background color.
I also wrote a very simple implementation for blinking text in fbcon,
using the flashcursor function to scan the buffer for blinking chars.
Any suggestion or critic is very welcome, but don't be too hard :)

Cheers,

Stefano Stabellini
