It's a hack for using the mouse for first-person shooter type games, 
where the mouse is supposed to have an infinite range of movement 
(according to get_mouse_mickeys).  There really isn't a better way to 
facilitate this behaviour, so you'll just have to resort to the software 
cursor while the hack is in effect.

32 bit.  I also tried 16 bit and 8 bit just then, with the same result.  
I'm using the "sis" driver for X.
