Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] [PATCH] fb: hide hardware cursor in graphics mode (Mach64)

[Risto S. <ris...@gm...>]

From: Krzysztof Helt <krz...@wp...>

A hardware cursor is left enabled in
the fb_set_par() which is called when
a new console is created. This is
inconsistent with software cursor's
behaviour.

Also, this makes a hardware cursor
always visible in the Xfbdev
(Xorg kdrive) server.

Well done, Krzysztof. It solves the problem on my three computers
using the mach64 chip: PowerMac 5500, PowerMac G3 Beige, and a PC with
Mach64 GZ card.
