Xserver Xfbdev (kdrive) uses linux framebuffer in graphics mode. It doesn't need the text mode cursor, it's a bit annoying to have it there sitting in a corner.

Which is well... quite old. Does it also (still) happen with 2.6.28?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
