Hi!
        I tried the xf86-video-modesetting driver with the new via KMS 
driver. It worked well but I had to turn off the cursor since I haven't 
finished the cursor in the kernel driver yet. By default the SWCursor 
option is set to false but when I placed that option in my xorg.conf file
it never set SWCursor to TRUE. Also a buffer was still being allocated 
even with the software curor. This patch address this issue. 

P.S
        I also tried the xorg driver on a i915 device with a LVDS but the
screen was distored. It looks like a incorrect pitch size. I didn't see 
that with my via driver.
