It is. Only 7.02 is more current, it contains some bugfixes.

Well, if the rest of the mouse seems to work, I doubt that it is the
hardware. It really sounds like a translation problem in the software to
display the mouse-cursor in a proper way.
Try running xvidtune and see if that brings any better results. I remember
hearing about people with an S3 card that had similar problems. Don't know
if they got it fixed though...
Good luck
