This may be a symptom of something in the works, so I'm going to ask about it here before I start worrying about it too much: The most recent set of syscons fixes seem to have taken care of the 'cursor disappears during kernel printf()s' bug, but now there's another problem: with the normal white on black screen color attributes, positioning the cursor over a character on the screen causes said character to be obscured. Put another way, if you move the white cursor over a white foreground character, the foreground attributes are supposed to be adjusted so that the character is visible through the cursor. The case of 'white background/white cursor' is supposed to be handled in a similar fashion. In fact, the 'white background/white cursor' case seems to be handled correctly, but the 'white foreground/white cursor' case is not. Again, I realize this may only be temporary breakage due to work in progress, but I wanted to be sure it didn't go unnoticed. I happen to be a chronic tcsh and vi user, so I notice it all the time. :) -Bill
