No idea for that. xorg@ is for support questions, so you may want to ask
there.

| commit 0bb317a78b96fddcdac319c9706b3a12f931ea44

| Default to -br. Add -retro option for the nostalgic.
|
| -retro also reverts to the classic cursor display behavior, meaning,
| the cursor will be visible before anyone calls XDefineCursor().
