Greetings;
I'm not sure what category this minor complaint falls under, but since its evidenced by a 2.6 kernel and not a 2.4, this seems like the place.
One of the things I've been meaning to mention is that if I'm running a 2.6 kernel, and exit X to reboot, the shell that had a cursor when I started X from it, no longer has a cursor when x has been stopped. This occurs only for 2.6 kernels, but works as usual for 2.4 kernels giving a big full character block for a cursor.
One can still type, and the keystrokes are echo'd properly. But it is a bit un-nerving at first. Logging clear out and back in again to re-init the shell doesn't help. The cursor is gone.
