I've followed this: ,----[ C-h C-e Emacs on a tty ] | To this end, run "infocmp linux > linux-term", edit the file | `linux-term' to make both the "cnorm" and "cvvis" capabilities send | the sequence "\E[?25h\E[?17;0;64c", and then run "tic linux-term" to | produce a modified terminfo entry. `---- .. and it worked well, thank you very much! I now have a static cursor. For some reasons that i don't understand, this cursor is red, but it could be worse. > (Shouldn't `visible-cursor' be mentioned there?) Yes, since (setq visible-cursor nil) produces the same result as the one expected when you follow this: ,----[ C-h C-e Emacs on a tty ] | Alternatively, if you want a blinking underscore as your Emacs cursor, | change the "cvvis" capability to send the "\E[?25h\E[?0c" command. `---- -- Bastien
