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.
To

view our graphics data we're reading from the framebuffer and sending
that

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.
