453 | Why is the cursor now blinking in emacs/vi/...? |
|
|
454 | This is likely caused by your editor/program's use of the "cvvis" |
|
|
455 | terminfo capability. Emacs uses it by default, as well as some versions |
|
|
456 | of vi and possibly other programs. |
|
|
457 | |
|
|
458 | In emacs, you can switch that off by adding this to your ".emacs" file: |
|
|
459 | |
|
|
460 | (setq visible-cursor nil) |
|
|
461 | |
|
|
462 | For other programs, if they do not have an option, your have to remove |
|
|
463 | the "cvvis" capability from the terminfo description. |
|
|
464 | |
|
|
465 | When urxvt first added the blinking cursor option, it didn't add a |
|
|
466 | "cvvis" capability, which served no purpose before. Version 9.21 |
|
|
467 | introduced "cvvis" (and the ability to control blinking independent of |
|
|
468 | cursor shape) for compatibility with other terminals, which |
|
|
469 | traditionally use a blinking cursor for "cvvis". This also reflects the |
|
|
470 | intent of programs such as emacs, who expect "cvvis" to enable a |
|
|
471 | blinking cursor. |

1005 | I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
|
|
1006 | The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
|
|
1007 | patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
|
|
1008 | unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
|
|
1009 | the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
|
|
1010 | version (<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce |
|
|
1011 | the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific |
|
|
1012 | to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian |
|
|
1013 | Bug Tracking System (use "reportbug" to report the bug). |
|
|
1014 | |
|
|
1015 | For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
|
|
1016 | probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
|
|
1017 | bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users |
|
|
1018 | that might encounter the same issue. |
