Commonly used desktop environments such as xfce4 and gnome
on debian sid can flood the graphics drivers with cursor
updates. Because the current implementation is waiting
for a vblank between cursor updates, this will cause the
display to hang for a long time since a typical refresh
rate is only 60Hz.
This is unnecessary and unexpected by user mode software,
so simply swap out the cursor frame buffer without waiting.
