cursor257.diff

I would like to submit the following patches to linux-2.5.7-dj1 so that: * The "software" cursor (activate using "echo -e '\033[?17c') works like in "xterm": it merely inverses the current (color) attributes of the current underlying character instead of having a fixed color This changes affects hardware text mode and graphics framebuffers * Blank char attributes are set equal to current char attributes (so that the new software cursor displays properly) * Text blinking attribute is disabled while in hardware EGA/VGA color textmode so that all 16 background colors are available --> echo -e '\033[5m' activates "bright background" Examples: $ echo -e '\033[17c' $ echo -e '\033[32;44;1m' The text is bright green over blue The cursor is blue over bright green $ echo -e '\033[m\033[30;43;5m' The text is black over yellow The cursor is yellow over black I would suggest that similar changes are made for the framebuffer's "hardware" cursor so that it has "xterm -bc"-like behavior. |
