I was thinking about this, but why?
Increasing the resolution leaves the cursor where it is
and decreasing moves it toward upper left corner which is correct for both lower resolution
and higher too.

Besides there is a risk that even disabled cursor can make hardware mad if offscreen
I think it is better to move the cursor in current resolution, and then do the modesetting
