Hi list, is there a way to disable the mouse pointer for a specific HID on os x? I want to use an external usb mouse with [hidraw] without having it act as a mouse pointer in the user interface.
On Debian/GNU Linux I can achieve this with xinput in the following way: List all X input devices xinput --list filter for numeric ID of "USB Optical Mouse" xinput --list | grep "USB Optical Mouse" | cut -d "=" -f 2 | cut -f 1 get the number for the "Device Enabled" parameter of that mouse xinput --list-props `xinput --list | grep "USB Optical Mouse" | cut -d "=" -f 2 | cut -f 1` which in my case is 164. Then change its value to 0 or back to 1 xinput --set-prop `xinput --list | grep "USB Optical Mouse" | cut -d "=" -f 2 | cut -f 1` 164 0 xinput --set-prop `xinput --list | grep "USB Optical Mouse" | cut -d "=" -f 2 | cut -f 1` 164 1 It seems xinput is (was?) available via MacPorts. https://ports.macports.org/port/xinput/ I don't have an os x box to test this right now and am wondering if anyone has already done this. Thanks for any hints! Peter _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
