Re: [Minios-devel] [UNIKRAFT PATCH 2/2] plat/kvm: Update VGA console cursor location



Hi Simon,

Not sure whether all of that should go into the commit message though. ;-)

Thanks for the explanation. What about this as message?:

Update the location of the cursor as data is written to the console.
Since we only set the location of a blinking underline character, we use
the Cursor Location {High,Low} registers.

Actually, I plan to explicitly set those registers at initialization for the v2, so the whole discussion is mostly moot. I'll come up with a better explanation, and some commenting in the code, that will hopefully make this all clearer.

Cheers,
Florian
