Start dissassembling (consider this a 'demand'). I too prefer the way the pre-ADB mouse/cursor worked, and I'm sure there are a few more of us out there. I would appreciate it if this patch could be e-mailed to me, and I'm sure other people on the net would like to see it too, so maybe the patch could be posted here.
