The NetBSD kernel code for this looks pretty reasonable, at least coming
from not having a clue what it was before. They certainly have a cursor

If only I had a monitor for the PMAGB-B. :)

I am certainly not ready to play with 2.5 kernels yet. Especially on
somehting this slow at compiling. I should try to find a cross compiler
setup for it.
