I just threw myself into the cold water again and tried a development kernel
again (admittedly, only for to see the boot logo :-) and I experienced that
the video card's hardware cursor is not turned off when switching from X to a
text/FB console. I don't think this is a problem, it's only a bit annoying,
but I thought the maintainer(s) of VESA/FB wnated to know this. The hard facts
are:
- plain Linux 2.1.115
- Diamond Viper V330 PCI 4MB (NVidia Riva 128 chip)
- XFree86 3.3.2 SVGA server
- occurred in all VGA modes I tried (640x480x256, 800x600x64K, 800x600x256,
1024x768x256)
- if that matters (I doubt it): Cyrix 6x86L PR200, 64MB RAM
I wonder why/if anyone else hasn't experienced this ?!
Maybe it's a problem of the X Server, though.
