R-01 cursor missing in multi-user mode. #2

Open markatlnk opened 11 months ago

markatlnk commented 11 months ago

Going for as much performance as I can get, decided to run without the GUI. Text is really small, but the main issue is there isn't a cursor. Makes it hard to do many things.

It is hard to get this into text only mode, the systemctl set-default multi-user doesn't work by itself.

not sure if still relevant, i've stumbled upon same issue and found workaround. append to your ~/.bash_profile echo -e "\e[?16;0;110c" this sets software cursor to nonblinking solid cyan block.

Want a cursor on framebuffer

R-01 doesn't have a hardware cursor(that's default), and you can use a cmdline parameter to change the default to a softcursor.

Format:: vt.cur_default=0x{p3}{p2}{p1}, note the order.

Example: vt.cur_default=0xF00058 white background block, with highlight.

Cursor stays visible in and out of vi
