    Hello all, I use a Raspberry Pi inside an old Spectrum 48K case and was trying to find a way to remove the mouse cursor when running in SDL mode without a window manager (X isn't even installed). I found a solution on the following link (taken from your own mailing list from a few years ago):

    https://sourceforge.net/p/fuse-emulator/mailman/message/30432600/

    This works fine but I have to apply the patches myself and from a discussion on Facebook it seems that it's an issue that does crop up for others from time to time and with increased Pi penetration I'd like to ask if it's possible to get the patch integrated into future releases? I am now using source code installs instead of distribution packages so can handle patching it myself but in the long run it seems it would be better to fix this little glitch because it makes a big difference in the nostalgia factor when the cursor is removed!

    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for the feedback. No other method has popped over these years, so I'll likely integrate it into the source tree.
