Does this also work when the cursor is in an area which will be "outside" the new resolution? Where will the cursor be positioned when it's re-enabled after switching?

Instead of disabling the cursor it may be sufficient to ensure that the cursor will not be outside the new resolution. I "parked" my cursor on the upper left of the screen and cycled resolution about fifty times without any problems.

I'll be on vacation from Thursday until Sunday, 18th. If you would provide a patch, I'll test either today or in the week after my vacation.
