Thanks for the hint. What I want to do is remove a device from the virtual core pointer so that I can exclusively use it. xsetpointer allowed me to do that, but I couldn't find a way to do the same thing with the xinput utility, at least not when using XInput 1.4. Do I have to use XInput 2 for that to work?
