Hmm, doesn't seem so.  I've never had this option in kernel config, and its
name suggest it's for disabling cut-n-paste buffer, which is not what I want
(and find it very convenient, FWIW).

I'm pretty sure that SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE gives me that standard, "inverted"
nice text-mode mouse pointer we all used to since early DOS years.
