Exactly the same trouble !!! happy, i'm not alone ;-) ... it's since breezy ;-(
there are 2 solutions :
- yours, with "Option ?Wcursor"
- or unplug the cable from the "output tv" from the card ;-(

it seems it concerns only old cards (9200, 9000, perhaps 7500 ?)

it seems it's an "xorg bug"
because here is a post from a man on fedora4 :

Can you please try on an up-to-date dapper system

Dapper 6.06LTS Final is still broken with exactly the same issues and same (broken) resolution.

Radeon 9000VIVO & Radeon 9000 latest updates

Thanks for your bug report, could you please try the latest version of Ubuntu and update this bug?
