Re: [FBDEV UPDATE] Newer patch.

flat view

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.
