Software generated cursor
CONFIG_SOFTCURSOR
  If you say Y here, you'll be able to do lots of nice things with the
  cursors of your virtual consoles -- for example turn them into
  non-blinking block cursors which are more visible on laptop screens,
  or change their colors depending on the virtual console they're on.
  See Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt for more information.
