I'm somewhat confused now ; VESA by definition can't support hardware
cursors, so I'm somewhat confused as to that part of the original
email, but some of the drivers do, and the last time I looked it
appeared that the app server's code already handled making use of that
functionality if the accelerant had it available. Am I wrong?
