From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Once we've switched to using the swcursor (possibly due to the cursor ioctl failing) we currently keep using the swcursor until the modeset. That's not particularly great as the swcursor has several issues. Apart from the (presumably expected) flicker, the cursor also tends to leave horrible trails behind around dri2/3 windows (happens with tearfree at least). To avoid some of that let's try to switch back to the hwcursor a bit sooner. We can do that neatly via the convenient swcursor block handler. v2 [ickle]: Apply the restoration after the screen update is complete.
