[solved] upgraded some xorg stuff, now the mouse cursor is slow

I don't know how to explain it, the mouse cursor is slow and sloppy.

It doesn't start moving when I start and it doesn't stop when I stop

I'm going to revert the changes after I drink some coffee, Until then I'll leave it like it is, in case anyone is interested

Ok, everything is reverted and it's good as new.

Edit:
Cut over to nouveau, perhaps the 390xx drivers will get patched someday.

Edit:
Turns out it didn't need a patch, just a section for xorg.conf. See nvidia-390xx-dkms, in the comments, for more information.
