Try adding UseFBDev "true" to your XF86Config file.

This is wrong. FB_CUR_SETCUR is used only by the userland cursor

Internal to the kernel we just toggle the enable flag.

This is a fluke that it helps. The cursor shows wrong characters because
the code logic is wrong. I'm working on the new code.
