Hi,
I had the same problem using i.MX6 with a touchscreen and Monocle on framebuffer
(with JavaFX 1.8u151-b12). Unfortunately I could not find a workaround because,
as you
said, the gray cursor placeholder is displayed before any application code is
executed. So there is no way to disable it using Java code.
Since I compile the JavaFX part myself, I added the following patch to hide the
cursor on startup. This seems to work for me:
