Probably... but I actually didn't see any difference in the output of
exmouse with or without it. In either case, the mouse position was updated
normally and the mickey count reached a high value if I moved the mouse
rapidly and falls to 0 if it is idle. Should I be seeing something
different?

I'm using NVidia's drivers on a GeForce 2 MX, with XFree86 4.3;
I don't have the system setup to test other colour depths than 16 bit at
the moment, but I'll play around with those tomorrow and see if I can
reproduce the problem in a different colour depth.
Just to be clear: the problem only occurs with the coloured cursor in
exmouse, not with the black and white cursor or in the test program?
