Here's an odd one that I can't remember how to fix. I have an old friend who's running an older Linux system (slackware). He's on a slower system, so just useds consoles (no X) and twice when the power went out, the box came back fine, except there's no cursor visible.
I thought maybe 'stty sane' or 'reset' might fix it but he thought he had tried those. I also asked what his TERM setting was but he wasn't near his computer - but it should say 'linux'. AFAIK there are excape sequences in /etc/termcap to make a cursor visible, but I don't know what to send to the consoles to re-enable the cursor. (And sometimes, the emacs cursor is an underline instead of a block, but that's a separate issue, and probably controllable under emacs). Anyway, any suggestions I can forward?
