Hi Jan,
I know that there was a "bug" report. Nevertheless I'd like
to ask whether QEMU really needs a blinking text cursor.
Blinking cursors are a matter of taste. I personally don't
want a blinking cursors. Nor do I want programs which
wake my cpu 5 times a second for something which I
don't need.
It's possible to get a blinking cursor without your patch
by redirecting QEMU's text console to one of the common
X terminal emulations (xterm, konsole, ...).
When QEMU gets GTK support, it might use a terminal
emulation which allows configurable cursor blinking.
IMHO that would be better than implementing that feature
in QEMU code.
That's why I suggest not to apply the patch.
Cheers,
Stefan
