I posted a similar problem a few weeks ago but I didn't get any real sensible
help except for the question if installed my fonts correctly. So I started 
a quest on my own through the qvss driver. 

I did find a solution to my problems, I don't kown if it is correct but it
worked for a fourthnight by now without any significant problems.

Add at the end of the qvDisplayCursor routine in server/ddx/dec/qvss/qvss_io.c
before the return TRUE  a line :

	ioctl(fdQVSS, QIOWCURSOR, qvInfo->cursorbits);

and warch it suddenly change your cursor in an beautifull X.
