Agree, but I have this turned on:

#
# Console display driver support
#
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FONTS is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y

It doesn't help

:-) If it was so easy...
I don't start X at all and I tried turning off the hardware cursor - how can it be
caused by X if it never starts? There is no cursor from the very booting.
