It seems to me there are two sets of cursors: B&W cursors and ARGB
cursors. Now the question is, does Mach64 support ARGB hardware cursor
or simply reverts to software cursors?

I have noticed that my mouse cursor blinks when text or graphics
pass it by under (for example, when scrolling)... Is this the
consequence of having ARGB software cursors? Can I choose to use only
B&W cursors instead of ARGB cursors?

Sincerely, I prefer a hardware mouse cursor to a software one.

Thanks!
