Now, as Nate and Manuel suggest, try the 'Option "sw_cursor"'. Leave all
your other lines in that section as they are, they are for Manuels
board. He just posted the whole Section, so you can see WHERE to insert:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Elsa Winner T3D"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
VideoRam 8192
ChipId 0x8a10
Option "sw_cursor" <---
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
You may also try, what happens, when you change
> DefaultColorDepth 8
in your Screens Section to 15 or 16.
