My /etc/inittab has lines that look like this:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 -I '^[c^[[?17;55;248c'
This gives me a nice red non-blinking cursor. No problems with vi
whatsoever. Of course, this only works on the console, but for my
terminal windows, I can set these values in resource or configuration
files. So, all of this is a user-space problem. No need to complicate
the kernel code.
