Thanks Michel.

I installed a few packages with cursor themes (crystalcursors, 
industrial-cursor-theme, xcursor-themes) and did
#  update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
to test them. They all look good except /etc/X11/cursors/core.theme

To me, the industrial-cursor-theme provided the cursor that looks like 
the original two-color from Xorg.

I wander why the default cursor in X is still the legacy two-color 
cursor... Is they a plan to change that?
