OK, this works much better, BUT still doesn't like 16 bit mode.  (says
"unsupported depth: try 15 or 24bit").  In 24 bit mode, I can actually
move the window around and my cursor is still there :) 

Hm, found out I've been running around in 8 bit mode.  No wonder I was
running out of colors so fast!  :)
