| |
There appears to be a bug in fbcon where the soft cursor does not appear on the screen until some tty output occurs. I suspect soft cursor is missing some initialisation somewhere; I have once seen some random garbage flashing on the screen instead of the cursor, which seems to be where the cursor is supposed to be.
When tty output occurs, the characters appear where the garbage was, and the normal cursor appears.
I've noticed this on several fbcon drivers, so I don't believe it is a generic fbcon bug.
