Hide Mouse Cursor

Open nicholasbrantley opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Is there a way to make the mouse cursor hidden? If not, would it be possible to add this feature?

You mean the remote mouse cursor ? Only the local one should be visible.

I use an iPad to access firefox, and when tapping anywhere it shows a black cursor. I'm assuming its the remote cursor since there is no local one on an iPad.

The remote cursor can be disable with an environment variable:

environment:
  X11VNC_EXTRA_OPTS: -nocursor

I am using this from an iPad mini and no cursor is visible.

I've tried added some extended touchscreen options for x11vnc too but it failed since the docker image is missing some required packages for that. Would be nice if someone with more experience could investigate this.
