[ A friend asked me to post this question to the net, so please 
[ reply by mail...
[ 
[ He has a 386 with a VGA card based on a Trident chipset.
[ When he boots up a 386bsd from a floppy or hard disk the
[ cursor disappears. It appears again only after the clear 
[ command until an enter is pressed. 
[ He hasn't found any mention of this in the buglist or faq.
[ Did someone have similar problems?
[ 
[ Petar
 I have this same problem (we have trident cards too!) It's real 
annoying when you try to use vi with no cursor. If you receive any
replies, please post it.
