I've followed this:
,----[ C-h C-e Emacs on a tty ]
| To this end, run "infocmp linux > linux-term", edit the file
| `linux-term' to make both the "cnorm" and "cvvis" capabilities send
| the sequence "\E[?25h\E[?17;0;64c", and then run "tic linux-term" to
| produce a modified terminfo entry.

.. and it worked well, thank you very much!
I now have a static cursor. For some reasons that i don't understand,
this cursor is red, but it could be worse.

Yes, since (setq visible-cursor nil) produces the same result as
the one expected when you follow this:
,----[ C-h C-e Emacs on a tty ]
| Alternatively, if you want a blinking underscore as your Emacs cursor,
| change the "cvvis" capability to send the "\E[?25h\E[?0c" command.
