Your doubts come to an end. radeonhd is dead, completely, unless some
necromancy has happened secretly in the last months. You should by all
means be using radeon, not radeonhd. But don't take my word for it,
just read their home page:

That's firmware, other than having it installed, you don't need to
worry about that. Your driver will be picked by X if you don't have an
Xorg.conf file. I am not sure what the order of precedence is when
looking for drivers, but I'd expect radeon to take over radeonhd. Your
log file (usually at /var/log/Xorg.0.log) should clear everything up.

But before continuing this way, please, read the other mail I just
sent as response to Nikos above. Maybe all you need is to find how to
set the mouse pointer theme. Did you try changing it? Since I didn't
see your problem myself I have no idea if there's something unusual in
the way that X is displaying your pointer or if it's just that you
don't like the look of it.
