Hello,
I don't know for sure in this case, but perhaps there is a "fix" to
this problem.

in directory ..../mit/server/ddx/sun the file sunCursor.c is stuffed with:
#ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
...
#endif

You could try to put :
#ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
#undef FBIOGCURMAX /* No he has not! */
#endif
just before the first #ifdef FBIOGCURMAX in that file and all special code
using the hardware cursor would be disabled, and I beleive that would let
you have your "big" cursor again.

Naturally, this is a little gross, but if the size of the cursor is really
important, it could be a solution.

Bye,
