The release version did have a proper cursor. What should I do? (I know, bite the bullet and buy a VGA card and monitor, but...) Install the same thing on another machine with cheap VGA (256k) and the cursor is a full sized non-flashing solid block. Makes for nasty editing (say, vi) when one can't tell what character is under the cursor. Think I'd really like to have a flashing underline that alternates with the character it is on top of. Went tearing thru the source code and now wonder how i386/isa/pcvt/* relates to i386/isa/syscons.[ch]? Both seem to have screen blanking functions, but they appear to be different console implementations.
