--- The testing is done on kernel version 2.6.18.That's a truly ancient kernel. Is the patch needed on current kernels? Does it work correctly in current kernels?It does not on 2.6.24. The patch works.
I have tested two cards with the hardware cursor: Permedia 2 (pm2fb) and Voodoo-3 (tdfxfb). Both cards use the hardware cursor and both does not produce the bug you have described. I have used the Xorg version 7.2 included in the Slackware 12 and a current git version of the kernel (updated two days ago). I do not have the ATI Mach64 card to test it. I will test my cards with the kernel 2.6.24. Either, this bug is related only to the atyfb driver or it was solved in the current kernel. I looked into the atyfb driver code and I did not see anything suspicious there.
