OK, I think in reading your email, I'll substitute "having acpi_video"
with "not having AGP loaded."  If you have acpi_video on RELENG_6, that
prevents your AGP from loading afaik.

So, if you have AGP loaded, you get a broken cursor, but playing XV
works fine?  Could you try the patch at
http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/agp-i945-4.diff instead?  There were
cases where the original patch (along with Linux's code) could get the
aperture size wrong in my testing.  But then, testing 3 versions of the
code across 2-3 pieces of hardware and 2 OSes leaves me somewhat
confused as to what I've really tested, so no guarantees :)

X expects to use sysmouse by default.  If you don't have moused
providing mouse events, you won't get any.
