I'll give you the solution someone gave me on my system. I'm using a
Trident Cyberblade i/1 video card, so YMMV.
Go to your XF86Config-4 file (in /etc/X11) and find the section
pertaining to your video card. Within that section, add the following:
Option "SWCursor" "on"
What I was told is that this causes X to position the cursor, rather
than the video card (which apparently gets it wrong). Naturally, restart
X afterward.
