Starting X without cursor not working on Tiny Core Linux

Hi,

it's possible to start X without a cursor, see:

https://www.x.org/wiki/AdvancedTopicsFAQ/#index1h2

This is working just fine on Ubuntu. But on Tiny Core Linux it doesn't seem to work. Tried all the combinations listed over there, but it doesn't work:

http://www.noah.org/wiki/cursor_disable_in_X11

Also tried it with Xorg-7.7.tcz, but it doesn't work.

Anyone here who can tell why it's not working?

PS:

Not working = Cursor is still there.

From the link you provide
Our Xserver version: 1.18.4
I first tried with Xorg -nocursor but failed.
However, when I tried tips for "Earlier versions", and create a file named nocursor.conf

--- Code: ---sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo vi /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nocursor.conf
# in vi
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"
#:wq
tce-load -i Xorg-7.7
startx

--- End code ---
I don't see the cursor, guess it works.  :)

But when doing it on Ubuntu 16.04, which also has xorg-server 1.18.4, it works with:


--- Code: ---startx -- -nocursor
--- End code ---

as outlined on:

http://www.noah.org/wiki/cursor_disable_in_X11

So, why does it work on Ubuntu but fail on Tiny Core Linux?

Maybe I didn't make clear, I said:

It might just works with this configuration.

IIRC unclutter is the app used for that.
