Hmm, sounds a bit ambiguous on 2nd glance  - if the underlying wsdisplay
doesn't support a hardware cursor wsfb will just use a software cursor
as before. This relies on ioctl(WSDISPLAYIO_GCURMAX) to fail if there's
no HW cursor support. If a driver lies about its capabilities we have no
way to know about cursor support ( that's what Option "SWcursor" is for
)

have fun
