TextConsole is zero-initialized, so it does not really matter. Can add
it if preferred though.

Thanks for reviewing,

I just thought because you initialized the same named field in the vga patch.
No need if everything is zero initialized, missed that.

Hi Jan,

I know that there was a "bug" report. Nevertheless I'd like
to ask whether QEMU really needs a blinking text cursor.

Blinking cursors are a matter of taste. I personally don't
want a blinking cursors. Nor do I want programs which
wake my cpu 5 times a second for something which I
don't need.

It's possible to get a blinking cursor without your patch
by redirecting QEMU's text console to one of the common
X terminal emulations (xterm, konsole, ...).

When QEMU gets GTK support, it might use a terminal
emulation which allows configurable cursor blinking.
IMHO that would be better than implementing that feature
in QEMU code.

That's why I suggest not to apply the patch.

Cheers,

Stefan

Well, *if* there should be heavy resistance against this patch, we may
postpone it. But I consider the feature useful to identify the cursor
position and check visually the liveliness of QEMU.

However, the VGA blinking is a feature that should go in, specifically
as there is no impact on wakeups and it fixes an emulation deficit.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] console: Implementing blinking of cursor

[Jan Kiszka]

Let the text console cursor blink at 2 HZ.

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

Changes in v2:
 - fixed semantic of CONSOLE_CURSOR_PERIOD and reduced frequency

I know there was a concern regarding the approach in general, but I
still consider it useful and visually more attractive than the static
cursor.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] console: Implementing blinking of cursor

[Jan Kiszka]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Let the text console cursor blink at 2 HZ.

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

Changes in v3:
 - renamed cursor_blink_state to cursor_visible_phase and made it a bool
