    mi: don't thrash resources when displaying the software cursor across screens


This commit break my system in a very bizarre way that I cannot kill the
X server, neither use it anymore. I can reproduce it only when I set two video
cards by the server.

I haven't checked the logic behind the commit to see exactly what's going
wrong. But I'd guess maybe your forgetting multi-card case? Also, we don't
want privates mechanism in these common layers, so you could cook a commit
without it.


Cheers,

        Tiago
