Look at the "unclutter" package.  It causes the mouse cursor to disappear 
after a user-defined time.  (Two seconds on my box.)

apt-get install unclutter
unclutter -idle 2 &
' The ampersand runs it as a background process

I often run the command as "unclutter -idle 1 &" so that the cursor disappears 
soon after the mouse stops moving.

Hope this helps, Bob
