It is very similar to Peter Hanzel's patch already posted to the bugzilla but it honors vc_scrl_erase_char for scrolling. Regards, Krzysztof ---- From: Krzysztof Helt 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.
