well, X is happy to start without a mouse, and i'd bet you can set the cursor bitmap to be a single pixel, as well (i recall at one point in the distant past setting my X11 cursor to a custom bitmap on a sunos machine). it's not perfect, but with mame having cursor-hiding options, a single pixel even in the middle of your frontend is better than that big "X" =). sadly i don't remember how to do this... _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
