SVGATextMode will allow you to toggle the bits in the VGA setup to turn
off blink mode (which allows you to use high-intensity background
colours). \033[5m which previously enabled foreground blinking will
then enable high intensity backgrounds.
>From /etc/TextConfig on my machine:
---############################################################################# # # The "16color" option changes the default text console from 8 colors plus # blinking to 16 colors (what used to be blinking is now highlighted) #
Option "16color"
