Same here. None of these produce any effect (in console mode or in
X). The cursor continues to blink annoyingly.

If I put this in my init file:

     (blink-cursor-mode)

I get an error-message (wrong number of arguments) and the polite
suggestion that I start emacs with the --debug-init flag.

If I try:

    (blink-cursor-mode nil)

there is no error-message but there there is no effect either. Ctl-h v
on blink-cursor-mode says that its value is t.

If I now try:

    (setq blink-cursor-mode nil)

no error-messages, and Ctl-h v on blink-cursor-mode now reports that
the value of the variable is nil. But the damn blinking continues.

Sigh ....
