Just tried the patch with the 2.6.0 kernel and it didn't help. As a bonus 
"feature" the cursor also makes the character it is underlining blink.

I assume that something broke in 2.5.51 on some cards (maybe while making 
fb-con modular?). Three of the four people who stated they had this problem 
had a ATI card (two had a Radeon 7500 and I have a Radeon 9500 and one didn't 
include the videocard). :( 

I have no idea what change could be the cause.

If I could help you with more info please say so.

Thanks again,

S Ait-Kassi
