Penguin logo and scrollback

Hi folks,

I just got 2.1.129-pre2 with the Matrox framebuffer device, and I have
two questions about it, which I do not seem to be able to find docs for:

1. The penguins are somewhat neat, but they make scrollback of the
bootup messages impossible (all you see is a pair of penguin
heads.) This is, IMNSHO, not acceptable. How do I make this more
reasonable?

2. The cursor is a white, flashing box. I'd much rather have a
different-coloured, non-flashing box. (Flashing is annoying, and
when the flashing thing is a box it becomes flat-out obnoxious.)

Pointers to docs always appreciated.
