Yes, however, a small change of the cursor size doesn't work for me for the Neo lag (idk about the TV app). I have to set it to a size that is significantly bigger, to trigger the fix. (edit: Added that side note to the gist)

Back in the 90's I had a Matrox card that would crash the machine if the hardware cursor changed at the wrong time. I think it was related to VBI, but it's been a while.

Linux resolved this issue, but to work around it on windows, I changed my cursor to an animated dinosaur, which was built into the OS and had the side-effect of disabling the hardware cursor.

Odd, I wonder if it has to do with modern macOS resolution scaling (how there basically is no "native physical resolution" setting anymore). i.e. maybe up to a certain point it's also simply scaling the hardware-rendered cursor, if that's even possible?
