Based on v4 by Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com> There is currently no reliable way to report failure to set a HW cursor. Still such failures can happen if e.g. the MODE_CURSOR DRM ioctl fails (which currently happens at least with modesetting on Tegra for format incompatibility reasons). As failures are currently handled by setting the HW cursor size to (0,0), the fallback to SW cursor will not happen until the next time the cursor changes and xf86CursorSetCursor() is called again. In the meantime, the cursor will be invisible to the user. This patch addresses that by adding _xf86CrtcFuncs::set_cursor_check and _xf86CursorInfoRec::ShowCursorCheck hook variants that return booleans. This allows to propagate errors up to xf86CursorSetCursor(), which can then fall back to using the SW cursor immediately. v5: Updated the patch to apply to current git HEAD, split up into two patches (server and modesetting driver) and adjusted the code slightly to match surrounding code. I also removed the new exported function ShowCursorCheck(), as instead just changing ShowCursor() to return Bool should not affect its current callers.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
