Probably a driver bug that has been fixed in newer versions of
XFree86 (yours is pretty old). You can probably get a usable pointer
with your current server anyhow by adding:
Option "SWCursor"
to the Section "Device" of the XF86Config file. That will disable
the obviously broken hardware cursor support.
Mark.
