The blinking cursor is generated by the framebuffer driver. You can
adjust the rate the cursor blinks at or disable the blinking cursor
via /proc/sys/dev/fb/cursor_blink_rate. By writing a negative value
to this /proc entry the blinking cursor will be disabled.

e.g.

echo -1 > /proc/sys/dev/fb/cursor_blink_rate
