Can you tell what desktop environment you use?

gnome

Do not use gnome so don't know much about its mouse settings.

But Install program "unclutter" and you will get what you want.

hi

thanks for your reply and advise.

I managed to hide the pointer in the left inferior part of the screen, as I saw it in a forum. So..kind of problem solved.

I have read that some users have problems with the program you have recommended to me, so I am not going to installing yet..

thanks anyway
