Yep. It should be listed in the BUGS file. Ahh, it's not, I'll add it.
Basically, it's very difficult to properly implement a mouse cursor when
the application is writing directly to the video memory and the underlying
API doesn't have the equivalent of a freely aligned overlay sprite.
BTW, you shouldn't rely on the hardware mouse cursor for GL applications
anyway. It doesn't work on at least one hardware configuration (Voodoo2)
See ya,
