VGA supports a hardware cursor only in text mode. That is implemented;
check the GUI sources.
Windows etc. will use a software cursor in graphics mode sense it _has_
to, unless it detects an SVGA chipset that supports a hardware cursor
(and it is configured to use full acceleration).
Think of it like this: in DOS if you install a mouse driver and enter
mode 640x480 16 colors, and show the mouse, then a software cursor is
being used. It's the same thing.
