The cursor has changed from a nice underline to a solid white block.
I seen the problem. Its the wrong color for the background color for the cursor. I haven't been able to figure out why it went wrong. The specs are not to clear on this.
Not only that, but the block is bigger than the font it is over (if I am on top of adjacent letters, it covers the entire letter I am on, plus a couple of pixels of the letter to the right).
Ug. That code is straight from the old driver. Will fix.
In additition, the cursor now disappears while typing, and navigating around (on the command line left and right, or even in an editor when moving the cursor up and down). This disappearing while typing or navigating is _really_ annoying. If I go left or right a lot, I have to keep stopping to see where the cursor actually is.
I seen this problem last night with the NVIDIA fbdev driver. I think I know what the problem is. I will try a fix tonight. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
