xserver: Enable visible cursor on start without -retro #26798master-retro
Not having a visible cursor by default poses problems with a lot of users: when
they are faced with a completely dark screen without even a moving mouse, they
think their machine is completely hung, while it could just be that X clients
can't connect or are not starting for some reason.
