In our OpenGL application, the cursor is a simple bitmap drawn with  
glBitmap, it works very well.

The advantage of this technique is the ability to draw anything,  
apply animation to it when you click or when something is loading,
or even a full 3d cursor, all of this 100% hardware independant.

If you are not using OpenGL, use whatever you use to draw on the SDL  
surface to draw a cursor.

All this is according you can have 60fps all the time (to have smooth  
cursor).

There are some techniques to give the cursor more fps. A very simple  
one is to draw the cursor with SDL_UpdateRect.
