but does it have to keep blinking all the time? i don't have any different
settings in any of those 12 terminals
maybe that text mode helps me. anyway sc helps me too, but that option will go
away
does it mean it keeps flickering then?
unsure if it will goes away in uefi machines
to be honest, there are cases when you need physical console to debug stuff.
sometimes you need extra terminal. it quite largely disrupts view if you do
ttyv0 <-> ttyv1, and there's always a blank screen and 1s delay each time you
switch since now video apparently always has to reset
either this doesn't happen on uefi, noone uses console, or noone cares?
imagine if this would happen in x
i don't know why it has to absolutely happen? even if resolution is effectively
same?
