    Linux now has some ability to manipulate cursor appearance. Normally, you
 can set the size of hardware cursor (and also work around some ugly bugs in
-those miserable Trident cards--see #define TRIDENT_GLITCH in drivers/char/
-vga.c). In case you enable "Software generated cursor" in the system
-configuration, you can play a few new tricks:  you can make your cursor look
-like a non-blinking red block, make it inverse background of the character
-it's over or to highlight that character and still choose whether the
-original hardware cursor should remain visible or not.  There may be other
-things I have never thought of.
