Bug#254565: Two S3 hardware mouse cursors -- fixed in X.org
I also have a T23 laptop with S3 SuperSavage IX/C, and I can confirm
this bug. When the cursor changes from a monochrome one to a colourful
one, the monochrome one doesn't go away. The easiest way to trigger
that is to move around a window in metacity, as gtk2-engines-industrial
has (or used to have) a monochrome "plus" cursor, while others are ARGB.
Now the interesting bit: this bug does not appear in X.org 6.8.2. I
assume it got fixed, so it's just a matter of finding and backporting
the right patch.
I first saw this bug in the middle of January 2005, when I switched from
Debian unstable to Ubuntu Warty. I upgraded to Hoary (which had X.org)
after a few days, and the bug disappeared. I never saw this bug in Debian,
but it is entirely possible that I had disabled hardware cursor in my
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ages ago, and then forgotten all about it.
HTH,

you looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
