The patch titled fbcon: don't draw cursor when it's disabled has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fbcon-dont-draw-cursor-when-its-disabled.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: fbcon: don't draw cursor when it's disabled From: Michal Januszewski <spock@xxxxxxxxxx> When the cursor and echo are disabled on the current console, pressing a key will cause a black rectangle to be painted in the cursor's position. Fix this by not touching the framebuffer in fbcon_cursor() when the cursor is off. Signed-off-by: Michal Januszewski <spock@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Antonino A.
