Adding the Option line for "SWCursor" solved the problem. Here is the xorg.conf file that works below:

#110627 working on mageia1 build, this needs fixing.

I found a good page here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Poulsbo that provide a good discussion of what is going on and the differences between the drivers. The page also provides additional information on how to use the driver. This driver is supposed to provide limited video performance. I did visit
www.youtube.com to try some videos. They all display OK. In general, the driver performance well in my opinion. Hopefully, the next update of Slacko will have this sorted out.
Thank to all!
