Let the text cursor blink at 5 Hz. No timer is used, instead we rely on
the fact that the display is updated periodically.

This would force a whole screen refresh at 5Hz. How about moving the
check, which you modify below, outside of
if (full_update || ch_attr != *ch_attr_ptr) {
...
}
block?

I'd use bool and a name that tells something about the state, like
bool cursor_visible;

Changes in v2:
 - avoid full screen updates for cursor blinking
 - convert cursor_blink_state to cursor_visible_phase

It's named VGA_TEXT_CURSOR_PERIOD, but it looks like it is not the
period, but the time for each of two states (on/off), so it's 1/2 the 
period.

With your patch, I'd expect a blink frequency of 2.5 Hz.

According to the VGA documentation (I used
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/projects/pintos/specs/freevga/vga/textcur.htm#blink),
the time for each state should be 16 / (60 Hz) or 266 ms resulting in
a blink frequency of 1.875 Hz.

As far as I can tell, there are more cursor features missing:
do we support an invisible cursor (your patch doesn't) or
cursor shape? See also this URL for more information:
http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/projects/pintos/specs/freevga/vga/textcur.htm

Blinking is also missing for text with the blink attribute.
I don't know whether real hardware synchronizes text and
cursor blinking. If it does, we should do that, too.

What about vertical blank interrupt? It is the base of text
cursor blinking. We don't support it currently.

Regards,
Stefan

Err, of course.

Interesting. The real hardware I was looking at is using a rate
definitely larger than 2 HZ. But I can change this to the original rate.

As always: patches are welcome :). This covers at least the most
prominent use case.

Let the text cursor blink at 1.875 Hz, the original VGA cursor
frequency. No timer is used, instead we rely on the fact that the
display is updated periodically.

Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Changes in v3:
 - adjusted frequency to original value
 - fixed semantic of VGA_TEXT_CURSOR_PERIOD_MS
