PROBLEM: cursor dissapears after setfont

PROBLEM: cursor dissapears after setfont

[Gorik Van Steenberge]

Hello,


I recently compiled 2.6.0-test1 and noticed that I didn't have a cursor on
any tty but tty1. After testing some things I found out that the cursors
dissapear after "setfont -v default8x9.psfu.gz". Also, the cursor does not
dissapear on the tty that called setconfig. I also had this problem in
2.5.70. AFAIK I'm using the latest kbd.

I am not sure what info I should supply that would be relevant to this
issue.

What is your configuration so I can replicate this problem?
