* Emacs on a tty switches the cursor to large blinking block. |
254 |
|
|
255 |
|
This was reported to happen on some GNU/Linux systems which use |
256 |
|
ncurses version 5.0, but could be relevant for other versions as well. |
257 |
|
These versions of ncurses come with a `linux' terminfo entry, where |
258 |
|
the "cvvis" capability (termcap "vs") is defined as "\E[?25h\E[?8c" |
259 |
|
(show cursor, change size). This escape sequence switches on a |
260 |
|
blinking hardware text-mode cursor whose size is a full character |
261 |
|
cell. This blinking cannot be stopped, since a hardware cursor |
262 |
|
always blinks. |
263 |
|
|
264 |
|
A work-around is to redefine the "cvvis" capability so that it |
265 |
|
enables a *software* cursor. The software cursor works by inverting |
266 |
|
the colors of the character at point, so what you see is a block |
267 |
|
cursor that doesn't blink. For this to work, you need to redefine |
268 |
|
the "cnorm" capability as well, so that it operates on the software |
269 |
|
cursor instead of the hardware cursor. |
270 |
|
|
271 |
|
To this end, run "infocmp linux > linux-term", edit the file |
272 |
|
`linux-term' to make both the "cnorm" and "cvvis" capabilities send |
273 |
|
the sequence "\E[?25h\E[?17;0;64c", and then run "tic linux-term" to |
274 |
|
produce a modified terminfo entry. |
