I've just upgraded to bochs 2.3.7 and I'm experiencing a incredibly fast cursor flash speed....
It's flashing so fast that it looks like the screen is distorted, is anybody else experiencing anything similar?

P.S. (because I thought it might be a bug in my OS, but I can't find any reason, so I'm just asking to see if it's a problem with the current version of bochs...)

it seems like your set IPS (instructions per second) is set really high in the config file you use. Open the config file you use and alter the IPS and see if the speed of the blinking decreases.

instead of changing IPS, try using sync=slowdown or sync=realtime as well (bochs defaults to sync=none). Both set the bochs timing to the correct speed without having you figure out how much instructions your processor can really do. (which btw also depends on what you are running in bochs)

I already had 'clock: sync=realtime'...
But even when I lowered the IPS to 500, I still had the problem (and it was incredibly slow...)
