Its not the proper fix. The latest patch fixes this problem. I had to save
the area under the cursor and redraw that area when the cursor was
disabled or moved. The cursor api is set in stone from the drivers
prespective. So it will be easy for driver writers to make use of
a hardware cursor. The old cursor code was written around a software
emulated cursor. The new code favors hardware cursors with software
emulation the exception.
