In xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/sis/sis_opt.c I found all
available options, and the manpage for 4.2 explains what they do.

The correct spelling for the SiS driver is "SWcursor" (lower case
'c'). Goggling, I found a message saying that HWcursor and SWcursor
are just one option, and leaving the other unset can undo the
setting. I didn't verify that, but set directly:

	Option "HWcursor"      "off"
	Option "SWcursor"      "on"

This can be confirmed in /var/log/XFree86.0.log.

I still don't understand why it worked fine with potato but not with
X3 on woody. But now it works.

Thanks.
