Looking at the code all cursor control from the driver level has been removed. It been put into fbcon. So if you enable fbcon then it will activate the cursor and have full control of the cursor. Only terminal codes will turn it off. Any reason to fbcon enabled?Well, without fbcon I'm not too sure how we could see any of our output.Toquoted
view our graphics data we're reading from the framebuffer and sendingthatquoted
data to another piece of hardware that puts it on a screen.No serial port or network avaliable?There is, but we don't want that, we'd like to put our output on a monitor attached to the machine.
I have noticed that alot of people work that way. The problem is for VT terminals the terminal code and console code are together. For example you can have a printer console but there is no printer tty. Unfortunely you can't have a VT console only. This is on my to do list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
