Summary

I am largely dissatisfied with our default mouse pointer (cursor) that we seem to inherit from syscons, and think it should be improved. I've studied a lot of alternatives from other GUIs and found that X11 cursor suits us best. It looks much nicer, especially on native monitor resolution (i.e. after Intel/AMD *kms.ko is loaded).

Please consider attached patch I've been running with for a while now. I believe it's legally clean as well (discussed with @dumbbell earlier).
