Hide Mouse Cursor

I prepared a project using a cRIO-9037 and am using the video output to display the front panel of the real-time VI.  The run time application uses the display but will never use a keyboard or mouse connected to the cRIO.  However, the mouse cursor shown as a black arrow is in the middle of the screen and it would be nice to turn it off via some form of setup.  I suspect there's some obscure Linux feature to deal with it but cannot take the time research it.   For now the high-tech solution is to temporarily connect a mouse and push the cursor out of the way.

I have found a workaround for this:

 

In the configuration for xfce, there should be an xml-file for pointers. Mine was at /home/lvuser/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/pointers.xml 

 

Open that file, and set the boolean value to "true" (seems backwards, but that worked for me). The settings file will reload when the target reboots, and are persistent.
