You can enable this facility in the kernel. Search for `cursor' in Documentation/Configure.help of the kernel source directory. Or install svgatextmode, which has a configuration option to allow a block cursor with a variable size. Or search Google groups with "block""cursor""linux". This gave me the command echo -e '\033[?17;0;64c' which I tested and there is now a nice magenta block cursor on one of my virtual consoles. If in your reading you come across how I could get back to my original underline cursor - please let me know! Brian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
