Description
Hi,

The hardware cursor cannot be disabled on Raspberry. I'm running in the framebuffer, so as I have understood it, it's the hardware cursor which is rendered directly in the framebuffer.

Is there any workaround ?

Best,
Predrag

Removing review-requested label. With the impending move of the jfx repo to GitHub, this will need to be resubmitted as a pull request against https://github.com/openjdk/jfx in order for the review to proceed.

OK - thanks for the clarification, the confusion was mine. Will have to try and get my PI back in operation.

Thanks. In fact I didn't know that the mouse cursor was linked to the console cursor. The command does not help, but just to be sure... : I'm talking about mouse cursor, and not the console one. My console is disabled as I don't want any boot message to appear on the screen. Thanks for your help, Predrag

It is odd that it comes back. My Pi is not behaving at the moment so I cannot double check things - maybe it is something newer than my rather old image. But - a quick search found this: ... you can make the following changes to /boot/cmdline.txt, ... ... Hide the text cursor: "vt.global_cursor_default=0".

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, even if the cursor disapears on issued command, it appears on first "touch" on the screen.

We do have some issues with the console framebuffer cursor showing through on some platforms. There is not an easy way that I have found to disable this from within JavaFX - so it needs to be done via kernel command line, or console. Try this: echo "echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink" | sudo -s
