    Zack,

    What kind of graphics card do you have? Some support:

    Option "HWCursor" "0" or Option "HWCursor" "1"

    To turn the hardware cursor capabilities off or on, respectively. This
    Option is in the Device section of /etc/X11/XF86Config. IIRC, some
    cards exhibit problem you are seeing when HwCursor is enabled.

    Bob...
