Re: hacking X server to move pointer off screen or hide it

   If you want to make the pointer disappear entirely, the
easiest way is to hack CheckForEmptyMask() in 
xc/programs/Xserver/dix/cursor.c so that it always does:

   bits->emptyMask = TRUE;

  This is an optimization that tells lower level code to not
bother displaying the cursor because it's completely transparent.
