Hello! I'm running Debian on a Celeron system with an EGA video board. Everything is fine except the cursor is displayed 2 characters to the right of where it should be. For example, if I type 'foo', I get foo _ but if I press backspace I get fo _
To solve this inconvenient I found a valid work-around with the soft cursor feature of the Linux kernel, that allows to use a software cursor instead of the hardware one. You can see Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt in the Linux kernel for more informations. The software cursor looks ok. To enable the software cursor I simply run the command echo -e "\033[?17;0;64c" Now, with slink everything was fine, but, after upgrading to potato, vim started restoring the hardware cursor on program startup, when coming back from a shell, when coming back from suspend and leaving the hardware cursor on exit. I have no idea on how to stop this; changing editor is not an option, so I would like to know if someone can help me fixing vim behaviour or fixing the hardware cursor under EGA, whichever is easier. Thanks in advance, Enrico
