| |
Xserver Xfbdev (kdrive) uses linux framebuffer in graphics mode. It doesn't need the text mode cursor, it's a bit annoying to have it there sitting in a corner. This patch disables the cursor even when in graphics mode.
Signed-off-by: Risto Suominen <Risto.Suominen@gmail.com> --- The testing is done on kernel version 2.6.18. This version should be applyable on 2.6.28.4.
