I'm confused about your problem.  If the cursor blinks from white to
black instead of from black to white it seems that it would still be
visible (just the other half of the time), so I assume that you mean
that it "blinks" from black to black.  But then how do you know that
it is blinking (or even there at all)?

Since others on the list seem to understand what you mean I guess I'm
just thick, but I'd welcome enlightenment.

P.S. Have you tried tset/reset?
