Make a file called blank.xbm containing the following:

---//---
#define blank_width 1
#define blank_height 1
#define blank_x_hot 0
#define blank_y_hot 0
static unsigned char blank_bits[] = {
0x00};
---//---

Then do "xsetroot -cursor blank.xbm blank.xbm" .  Now your root pointer will 
be blank.

This probably won't completely solve your problem, though, since it's possible 
for other mouse pointers will be used if a window at the pointer location 
requests them.

Give it a try anyway.  It might be good enough, since you say this will be an 
arcade machine.
