  • Hide Mouse Cursor Trixie

    From DrStevenStrange@3:633/10 to All on Monday, November 10, 2025 07:22:48
    I have kiosk mode happily running on Trixie using the instructions here

    https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/how-to-use-a-raspberry-pi-in-kiosk-mode/

    I am using a Freenove Touch screen and I trying to hide the cursor.

    If I use unclutter -idle 0 I get "could no open display".

    An suggestions on how to hide the cursor??

    Many thanks

    In addition I should add that if I tap the screen the cursor does disappearuntil next boot.

    Just realised unclutter will not work on Trixe!

    Any other suggestions?
