The cursor suddenly shifts right and says shifted - even after restarting X and reinitializing the chip. The chipset certainly got the correct address for the cursor. Therefore it is not a bug in X but rather a bug in the chip.
Since I have no idea how to persuade the chip to return to the correct behavior the only solution for now is disabling HW cursor.
