On the console, "echo -e '\033[?1c'" and you won't be seeing a cursor on
that console. If you really want a non-blinking cursor on the screen,
"echo -e '\033[?81;55;64c'" which will give you a white non-blinking
block, and if you move the cursor over text, the character under the
text will appear in black. If you don't like the results,
"echo -e '\033[?c'" will set the cursor to the default.

See VGA-softcursor.txt in your kernel documentation for more details.
