433 Why is the cursor now blinking in emacs/vi/...?
434 This is likely caused by your editor/program's use of the "cvvis"
435 terminfo capability. Emacs uses it by default, as well as some versions
436 of vi and possibly other programs.
437
438 In emacs, you can switch that off by adding this to your ".emacs" file:
439
440 (setq visible-cursor nil)
441
442 For other programs, if they do not have an option, your have to remove
443 the "cvvis" capability from the terminfo description.
444
445 When urxvt first added the blinking cursor option, it didn't add a
446 "cvvis" capability, which served no purpose before. Version 9.21
447 introduced "cvvis" (and the ability to control blinking independent of
448 cursor shape) for compatibility with other terminals, which
449 traditionally use a blinking cursor for "cvvis". This also reflects the
450 intent of programs such as emacs, who expect "cvvis" to enable a
451 blinking cursor.
