Tiago,

This commit fixes the SW cursor with several screens, so the "multi-card case" 
is more or less the point of the change. Can you be more specific about the 
problems you're having and your testing environment? Do you have the SW cursor 
forced on?

Removing the dependency on devPrivates from this layer is way outside the scope 
of this patch.

Thanks,
  - Pierre-Loup
