 I think that our copy of the via driver might not do hardware cursor
 yet, at least there are no code references if I am searching correctly.
 
 The person creating the xorg openchrome driver is also working on a
 kernel side driver update (for linux), and he added support for it.
 (for the curious, his repositories are here:
 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/ )
 
 At least from random searching it is probably a big deal to have a
 hardware cursor, but we don't have one so we should probably force
 swcursor somewhere/detect better.
 
 (or: updating the xorg driver without the kernel driver proved to be a
 bad idea in this case)
