Comment # 1 on bug 988826 from Dr. Werner Fink

Do you have any problems with \E[?25h\E[?0c ... the cvvis is long time part of
ncurses for opensuse/suse as it was a long time missed ncurses upstream.  From
my patch:


+#
+# Do not use a block cursor, <werner@suse.de>
+# This because many programs do have a workaround for the long time
+# missed cvvis entry. A `\E[?1c' in civis will cause a visible but
+# zero high cusor ... re-add it for kernels 2.6.11+
+#
