Don't know, that's why i asked on linux-fbdev, we have to wait for an answer
there before doing anything about it.

But from what i see, there are only so much solutions to this :

1) use RGB 332 instead of CI8 :(((

2) use the above mentioned fix, and have color #0 inverted to color #15

3) put some inverted colors somewhere else.

4) use hardware cursor

5) don't use accels to do the cursor blinking in depth 8. mmm, this solved
nothing.

But the writemask solution is a ncie 2 register writes fix, if it works (you
have to restore the previous write_mask when you are done, i think, unless you
always stay in 16 colors only).

What does other card do ? What did pm2fb do ?
