I have a question; this hardware supports (only) true color cursors. Is
the fb API unable to deal with this? I have read only 1-bit cursor
images are supported.

This said, I ma confused by the hw cursors calls, and I am not sure how
to proceed. Basically my hardware can store a number of cursor images,
enable or disable the cursor, and move the cursor at a specified
position. How do I implement that?

Thank you!
Alessio
