Cheers for that Kenny. Unfortunately it did not quite come off as the 
error log started "option not used" or something similar. What I 
actually needed was

     Option "HWCursor" "0"

which switches off the hardware cursor, rather than switching on the 
software cursor (nice double negative logic here ;)

Thanks for your help
