Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, after trying this, I realize that the blinking cursor seems not to be the cause of my problem. 'setterm -cursor off' definitely disables the cursor (it is no longer visible), but for some reason, using MPlayer with fbdev still shows a black cursor 'trail' flickering in the position of the invisible cursor. I'm not sure what's going on--usually MPlayer outputs a lot of status information which interferes with the framebuffer video output, but I'm running with with -quiet or -really-quiet options to MPlayer; I even tried directing everything to /dev/null, but always the bottom left text cell (where the cursor is normally) is flickering away with blackness. Not a huge deal, but it's a blemish on the video that I'd like to remove if possible. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
