DORMANTno replies

From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@gmail.com>
Date: 2006-08-10 11:57:38
Subsystem: console subsystem, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

Remove the cursor timer (cursor flashing) on the following conditions:

- if vc is in KD_GRAPHICS mode, ie, when X owns the console
- if vc is blanked

This misbehavior was exposed by Dave Jones.
