Hi!

There are few must-fix bugs in cursor handling:

echo -e '\33[?8c'

...should turn block cursor on on current console. It does so, but if you switch to another console, block cursor appears there too, and/or it reverts to line cursor on original console.

echo -e "\33[?18;0;136c"

...should turn on softcursor (see Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt). It does turn it on, but it fails to erase it once cursor moves! [Type foo in bash, then press backspace three times].

Play with gpm selection for a while and your cursor gets corrupted with random dots. Ouch.
