It seems to be orthogonal to "emacs --reverse-video", and has no effect when I try setting it manually in a running session, nor when I run "emacs --eval='(setq inverse-video t)' -Q -nw". It was removed from the manual here: b4a1a8b278 2010-03-02 Chong Yidong * frames.texi (Mouse Avoidance): Mention make-pointer-invisible. I also found the following: ./src/ChangeLog.9: > 2001-10-20 Miles Bader [...] > The following changes remove inverse-video support for terminals > that use a `magic cookie' standout mode.

So I have the same question as Lars: is this just some old obsolete variable that should be removed? Best regards, Stefan Kangas
