 and have them test it ? It contains new hardware cursor code which might
 help with this problem. If it still doesn't work, I'll have a patch to
 test (same as changeset 595, but for VM800)

 Just tried r596 myself with my ASRock P4VM800 board and the mouse cursor
 disappeared, very likely because of r593, so I rebuilt the driver with the
 proposed change (disabling ARGB for VIA_VM800 in via_cursor.c) and the
 mouse cursor was back (note that this doesn't necessarily mean that the
 problem is fixed for the bug reporter too).
