Sadly, this is expected. See PR xsrc/41870. I am very tempted to
change our X server back to the old behavior of installing a default
cursor immediately and painting the background to that horrible
horrible eye-killing pattern. Much as I hate that default
background,
black with no cursor is all kinds of wrong.
Yeah, too many people's reaction to the black screeen w/no cursor has
been "OMG, it's fuxored" (including mine, even now occasionally). We
should go back to the damn grey stipled screen; it's not like it can't
be changed by whatever eye-candy is running on top of X as soon as it
starts.
