From 9ea9a886b0e8630e12cff515955e7f0f5be32cb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:45:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] vt: make the default cursor shape configurable For embedded systems, the blinking cursor at startup time can be annoying and unintended. Add a new kernel parameter to change the default cursor shape.
