Force hiding cursor

[JeanPhilippeLebel]

Hi all,

I'm running a Raspberry Pi 4 with the official 7inch display+touch. The OS is based on Yocto with Meta-wayland (provides Cage 0.14) and meta-raspberrypi.

The cursor always appears in the center of the screen even if there is no mouse connected. I've read the previous discussion about hiding the cursor.

I'm in a situation where I need to hide the cursor always even if there is a mouse connected.

I tried modifying the code code but the cursor is always there.

1. In cage.c, set the cursor outside the screen with the call to wlr_crusor_warp (instead of placing the cursor to center of the screen)

2. in seat.c, removed the check for caps & WL_SEAT_CAPABILITY_POINTER and call wlr_cursor_set_image(seat->cursor, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) directly.

What would be the best way to always hide the cursor?

Thanks

Well, moving the cursor to

wlr_cursor_warp(server.seat->cursor, NULL, layout_box->width * 0.9999, layout_box->height * 0.99999 );

seems to the the trick.
