[ SOLVED ] Change virtual console cursor
Hi, i'm trying to change my virtual console default _ to a blinking block cursor. I was wandering if that would be possible. I've searched through google and looked at setterm man page but couldn't find anything. Thank you.

there's an escape sequence you can use,
echo -ne '33[?6c' # flashing prompt on VTchuck that in your bashrc.

heh, i found it referenced somewhere in the kernel source. the flashing block actually used to be the default cursor.
