Bug Description

Using ATI graphics card on a laptop at 1280x800 and external CRT at 1280x1024.

On the primary monitor of my laptop, the cursor is drawn correctly, but on the external monitor the cursor takes on a texture that seems randomly to be randomly taken from the video memory. This draws a 65x65 px square which is difficult to use.

Enabling SWCursor under the Device section of xorg.conf is a workaround, but SWCursor leaves artifacts behind the cursor.
