I think that X fundamentally requires that you have exactly one cursor. You can however change the way it looks by changing the cursor font. You can write a cursor font which has an invisible cursor, so the user will not see anything. (I don't remember the syntax, but there several ways of changing cursor font). The only problem I see with that is that any application can change the cursor font, and some applications use their own font, so you can't guarantee that a cursor will never appear. However this will only happen when such an application has focus, so should not be a major problem. -- Andrew C Aitchison _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
