Since it's not double buffered. It blinks.

(this one cannot be fixed) or blinking when using a RENDER extension cursor? (this one could be fixed but I still prefer having a hardware cursor since it's faster and causes less trouble) > This is not something that can be worked > around easily.

(I think you mean the missing support for ARGB HW cursors, but I'm not sure)
