[Ltsp-discuss] Disable Mouse Cursor?

2007-08-13 Thread Eric Holt
Hi folks. I'm working on a new project with touchscreens, where there will not be a mouse connected to my thin client. I'd like to disable the mouse cursor. Is this possible with LTSP? I'm running 4.2. I tried commenting out the mouse in lts.conf but it still shows up. Thanks, Eric ---

I've often wondered if it would be really helpful for us to compile a list of thin clients that we've worked with, and what issues we've had -- or how successfully we've been able to get them to work with LTSP. When searching for new thin clients (that had serial port support) for a new project, i
