I see this as well, since at least the xserver-svga 3.3.3.1-6 version (4 June), on my Diamond Viper 550 AGP card... it's truly, truly annoying; it may sound apocolyptic but I haven't been able to do any local work on this system--Emacs is pretty much unusable if you can't see the cursor! I've tried updating to each new server version, including the latest 3.3.3.1-9, but nothing helps. There were no followups to this note; does anyone have a solution? yep... downloaded compiled server from ftp.xfree86.org and replaced XF86_SVGA which came with .deb. Now it works just fine OK
