Events are named - that's great for nomadic TinyCore install! Thanks again!

Rich:
Hi jazzbiker
Those event names come from peripherals, so they will differ from machine to machine.

--- Quote from: Rich link=http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/AutoCursor.tcz.info ---      If a mouse was included in your saved settings and is not present
      when you boot, we just move on to the next setting in the file.

On the new machine:

--- Code: ---AutoCursor -hX -sY -S AutoCursor.conf.new; cat AutoCursor.conf.new >> ~/.config/AutoCursor.conf

--- End code ---
Voila! all birds are trapped in our cages.

Hi jazzbiker
The  -s  and  -h  can be used multiple times. So you can us multiple events to hide (keyboard, touchscreen) and multiple
events to show (mouse, touchpad).

If you just want to hide the cursor:

--- Code: ---sudo AutoCursor -i
--- End code ---

I don't know why someone would want to do this, but I figured eventually someone will try to use  -S  and  -L  in the
same command. So rather than testing for it and throwing an error, it was easier to just make it so it works:

--- Code: ---sudo AutoCursor -hX -sY -sZ -hW -S AutoCursor.conf.new -L ~/.config/AutoCursor.conf
--- End code ---
This says hide the cursor for events  X  and  W , show the cursor for events  Y  and  Z , save the settings in
AutoCursor.conf.new , but run using the settings from  ~/.config/AutoCursor.conf.

jazzbiker:
Hi, Rich!
I meant that if AutoCursor.conf includes descriptions of all the devices on all possible host machines, on one particular machine only devices actually present will be enqued. Is this wrong statement?
