You don't need the whole thing; just a fragment like this will do:

```
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/modesetting.conf
Section "Device"
     Identifier  "Card0"
     Driver      "modesetting"
     Option      "SWcursor" "on"
EndSection
$

Hello RVP,

Thanks for the tip.

I found that I was indeed using a xorg.conf file product of old experiments:

If I use no xorg.conf file at all, it picks intel driver and there are 
no problems in window edges and corners.

If I use your config file it works fine!, no problems on the corners and 
edges and modesetting driver is used:

netbsd-nuc# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "modesetting"
    Option      "SWcursor" "on"
EndSection

Thanks so much.
Ramiro.
