Hello. I dislike that blinking underline cursor. I found in kernel documentation file (2.2.19) VGA-softcursor.txt instructions on how to control the cursor, and I could make a nice, blocky, non-blinking green one. However, certain curses programs (such as vim and mutt) change the cursor back to that boring underline.
How I can make a *permanent* block cursor? I remember setterm has a '-store' option, but unlike freebsd, linux setterm don't know how to control the cursor.
