Greetings all!

I have seen this question before but have yet to see a response. 

Has anyone (attention VGA gurus) discovered why on some Trident cards 
(T9000C chip I belive) the cursor is only visible in the top line of
the text screen? It doesn't matter whether I am looking at a vi screen or
a shell prompt. The cursor is visible in the top line, but not anywhere
else. When running DOS on the same machine however, there is no problem!

This is driving me to distraction! (And I don't relish returning to ex mode.)

Help!
