The fbcon cursor, when set to blink, is hardcoded to toggle display state five times per second. Expose this setting via /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink_ms Values written to the interface set the approximate time interval in milliseconds between cursor toggles, from 1 to 32767. Since the interval is stored internally as a number of jiffies, the millisecond value read from the interface may not exactly match the entered value. An outstanding blink timer is reset after a new value is entered. If the cursor blink is disabled, either via the 'cursor_blink' boolean setting or some other mechanism, the 'cursor_blink_ms' setting may still be modified. The new value will be used if the blink is reactivated. Signed-off-by: Scot Doyle <redacted>
Normally, this would be set by ansi escape sequences, no? We can hide cursor using them, set its appearance.. makes sense to change timing value there, too.... Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
