The Radeon is slightly different in that it has hardware support for ARGB 
cursors, hence switching on that chip is different.

I suggested that one fix for this is to simply always use the ARGB style 
hardware cursors and map core cursors to that model, rather than 
attempting to switch back and forth.

Daniel Stone built a patch, and I hacked it a bit.  Taking that along with 
Marc's idea of disabling cursors by turning them transparent should leave 
us with Radeon cursor support that doesn't have any issues with mode 
switching.

Would such a patch make sense for 4.3?
