At present if modesetting ever fails to set a hardware cursor it
switches back to a software one and stays that way until it is unloaded.
The following patch should fix that. I say "should" because I had
difficulties testing it - the cursor simply disappeared when it should
have been rendering in software, though the debugger showed that
pixman_image_composite() was getting called whenever the cursor moved,
and my kernel driver was getting dirty rectangle information. My
feeling is that the patch is correct and something else is broken. I
have not investigated in depth in case some one else immediately has an
idea.
Note that I did my testing against Ubuntu's 1.17.2 server.
Regards,
Michael
