I assume you mean the cursor and not the mouse. You can not make the cursor invisible in all cases except by hacking the X-server. You can force the root window (default) cursor to be invisible by installing an invisible one with xsetroot, but this will not prevent other apps from installing their own cursors. You know, we get alot of requests on how to do this. Maybe we should have a commandline option to always have a transparent cursor. It's supereasy to implement. All you do is have dix/cursor.c:CheckForEmptyMask() always set bits->emptyMask = TRUE when the option is set. Anyone, anyone??? Kelvin, forcing that value to TRUE is the way to force all cursors to be transparent if you want to hack the server yourself. Mark.
