Hi

May I propose to either use unclutter, or transparent cursors, or start the Xserver with the -nocursor argument.

Unclutter hides the cursor after a certain idle period.

# unclutter -h
# unclutter -idle 0

The transparent cursor theme:
LXDE-Menu/Preferences/Customize Look and Feel → Mouse Cursor Tab

or (specially to get back when you don’t have the cursor anymore)
In one of
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf - /home/root/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf
change the following enty from whiteglass to xcursor-transparent:
sGtk/CursorThemeName=xcursor-transparent

If you use lxdm you can add a parameter to the X startup in the lxdm.conf file.

Change /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf from

arg=/usr/bin/X -s 0

to

arg=/usr/bin/X -s 0 -nocursor
