Summary: fbcon cursor disappered after switch to 512 consolefont
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.26.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Console/Framebuffers
AssignedTo: jsimmons@infradead.org
ReportedBy: hanzelpeter@gmail.com
Latest working kernel version: 2.6.25.8
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26
Distribution: LFS 6.3
Hardware Environment: VMWare 5.5
Software Environment: LFS, framebuffer console
Problem Description: When I use setfont to change font to 512 chars font, than
blinking cursor disappers.
Steps to reproduce:
1) setfont LatArCyrHeb-16.psfu.gz
2) press enter (sometimes twice or more)
3) blinking cursor disappers
4) start typing (no cursor)
5) press "backspace" => cursor is back
A regression.

A regression.
The patch for the issue is below. It is very similar to
Peter Hanzel's patch already posted to the bugzilla
but it honors vc_scrl_erase_char for scrolling.

Krzysztof

From: Krzysztof Helt <redacted>
Adjust and honor the vc_scrl_erase_char for
256 and 512 character fonts.
It fixes the issue with disappearing cursor during scrolling
(kernel bug #11258). The issue was reported and tracked
by Peter Hanzel.
