 "Option SWCursor" produces a working (visible) mouse cursor.  The
 following minimal "xorg.conf" file (clipped from the builtin config
 written to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" and edited to suit) is sufficient
 if the monitor/screen/display is otherwise properly detected:
 
 
 Section "Device"
         Identifier      "Builtin Default openchrome Device 0"
         Option     "SWCursor"           	# [<bool>]
         Driver  "openchrome"
 EndSection
