Yep, I think it cured the problem, it must have been running for a
couple of hours since the change, and I have never seen it turn to black
(yet ? ;o).  So I would say it solves the problem :o)

But Thomas' idea is great, Ubuntu installer should check for cards that
don't support H/W cursor. Or maybe simply disable H/W cursor altogether,
what's the point of it BTW ???
