no cursor/caret in console?

[av1024]

I have heard that the Allwinner SoC does not have hardware cursor ?!?  I don't know if the Broacom SoC does.  I'll get on the Raspberry PI forum a little later and ask. 

I'd like to try the kernel compiled with the CONFIG_FB_SOFT_CURSOR=y enabled.

Remember to disable (CONFIG_FB_OSD2_CURSOR=n) option.

BTW, I'm not at cubietruck now, but via VPN I can see there is no _any_ option in config.gz:
