The radeon driver supports cursors up to 64x64 pixels natively, but larger
cursors still fall back to software.  X allows the driver to modify the 
image of the cursor in arbitrary ways so that while DRI is active we can 
clip the cursor image to a 64x64 subset and use the hardware. But, while 
DRI isn't running (or Xv), it's nice to see the whole thing.
