ts7kvfb.c is the frame buffer driver for the TS-7KV, it is included
in the kernel source code in drivers/video. IIRC the ts7kvfb.c file
is compiled as a module by default, you can run make menuconfig to
verify this. You would compile it as you would any other module
in the kernel... (e.g. make modules).

This is an interface provided by the frame buffer driver, once you
have the module loaded you should see the file
/proc/sys/dev/fb/cursor_blink_rate exists. You can cat this file out
to view the current cursor blink rate value, or echo a new value to
this file to change the blink rate value. A negative value will disable
the cursor.
