I see this as well, since at least the xserver-svga 3.3.3.1-6 version (4
June), on my Diamond Viper 550 AGP card... it's truly, truly annoying;
it may sound apocolyptic but I haven't been able to do any local work on
this system--Emacs is pretty much unusable if you can't see the cursor!
I've tried updating to each new server version, including the latest
3.3.3.1-9, but nothing helps.

There were no followups to this note; does anyone have a solution?

Alternatively, is there any way, using apt or dpkg, to downgrade to an
earlier version of the .deb that worked?  I can't go back to the stable
dist because I must have 3.3.3.1 to support this system :-/.  I couldn't
find the earlier binaries stored on the ftp sites anywhere; is there an
historical archive site or s'thing?
