I noticed one thing, and that is that the mach64 used to use software
cursor it seems (I remember wondering why atyfb_cursor was never used
anywhere). It's now using the hw cursor.

Yeap. I'm in the process of getting several driver to use there hardware 
cursors.

Also, I notice with this new code that the random vertical shifting of
the console doesn't occur anymore like it does with current 2.6.0-test8
code. For as long as I can remember 2.6.0-test, and way back into
2.5.5x, this has been a problem with highly active console programs
(mutt, vim, etc...). Good to see it's going away :)

I have fixed the problems you have reported. I have a newer patch. Note 
this is updated with the LCD support. I like to see if the patch works on 
sparc. I has updates from the latest 2.4.X kernels. Please give it a try.

Let me know the results.

FYI, this new code is working for me on my Blade100. The cursor is much
better now.
