How to move cursor with a bash command
« on: November 09, 2009, 11:42:39 PM »
Is there any way to move the cursor to the lower right corner of the screen so that it does not show until someone moves the mouse?
Or
Is there a way to make the mouse transparent?

I have tried a few options with the .xession file....
Xvesa -fc micro ... (the rest of the stuff)

This would not even make it to the X GUI.  It booted in to a terminal after the Xsession failed.  The error was could not find Display 0:0.  However when I remove the "-fc micro and leave the .xsession file in its original form, it boots just fine to the GUI.

I forgot to post this years ago...
I use unclutter.
> unclutter -idle 1 -jitter 5 -root &


Definition: unclutter: hides the mouse in X after a period of inactivity unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an X session. It checks on the X mouse pointer position every few seconds, and when it finds it has not moved (and no buttons are pressed on the mouse, and the cursor is not in the root window) it hides the mouse cursor. It restores the mouse cursor when the mouse is moved or when a mouse button is hit.
