488=head3 Why is the cursor now blinking in emacs/vi/...?
489
490This is likely caused by your editor/program's use of the C<cvvis>
491terminfo capability. Emacs uses it by default, as well as some versions of
492vi and possibly other programs.
493
494In emacs, you can switch that off by adding this to your C<.emacs> file:
495
496 (setq visible-cursor nil)
497
498For other programs, if they do not have an option, your have to remove the
499C<cvvis> capability from the terminfo description.
500
501When @@URXVT_NAME@@ first added the blinking cursor option, it didn't
502add a C<cvvis> capability, which served no purpose before. Version 9.21
503introduced C<cvvis> (and the ability to control blinking independent of
504cursor shape) for compatibility with other terminals, which traditionally
505use a blinking cursor for C<cvvis>. This also reflects the intent of
506programs such as emacs, who expect C<cvvis> to enable a blinking cursor.

1105The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
1106patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but
1107unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to
1108the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine
1109version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce
1110the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to
1111Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug
1112Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug).

1114For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
1115probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a

2001The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric
2002code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including
2003the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and
2004C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with
2005cursor positioning).
2006
2007Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80.
2008
2009 ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M
2010
2011One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for
2012parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is
2013active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used.
2014
2015Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding.
2016
2017In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for
2018example - anybody out there who needs this?).
