Gah, I thought I committed the fix for that. Gimme a day or two...
X seems to make funny assumptions about bit order in cursor images at  
times, igsfb is supposed to deal with that on both shark and krups  
but apparently I forgot something there :/

Yes, put
Option "HWcursor" "no"
in your device section.

That's weird, I don't remember that kind of problem. Did anything in  
ARM interrupt handling change?

Switching in and out of X never worked right, shouldn't be enabled at  
all. And 16bit mode won't work either unless you have patches rotting  
in my source tree for a while now.
Besides that - weird things may happen if X doesn't start on virtual  
console 0.

Shouldn't matter, I built and used shark kernels and userlands on  
FreeBSD/i386, macppc and sparc64 - no problems at all.

have fun
