apmd 3.0 and Xserver 3.6.6

I don't know whether my posting has reached the list, so
apologies if you've read this once before:

When my Compaq Armada 1750 is on battery, every time the
screen blanking time arrives, my X cursor disappears.

Although it is not visible, it's obviously functional,
because I can highlight windows and start applications by
clicking on them.

When I switch to the console using Alt-Ctrl-F1 and back to
X, the X cursor reappears.

When I execute 'apm -s' and return from supended state
(RAM), the X screen is covered with a few bright dots and
the cursor is invisible. By switching to a tty and back, I
see the mouse cursor again and moving some windows over the
dots, on screen refresh, they disappear and everything's
OK. 

Has anybody seen such behaviour?

My env is:

Compaq Armada 1750
ATI Mach 64 LT
X Server Mach 64 v. 3.6.6
apmd 3.0final
Kernels 2.2.14, 2.3.99-pre3 (both show the same behaviour)


TIA
