Dear TI,
While using Android on AM335x, I can see a mouse pointer (or part of mouse pointer) shown on the upper-left corner when switching apps
Is there any way that I can remove it, since our product will not use real mouse deivces?
I already disabled mouse input support in kernel but it still there. So must be somewhere else needs to change
Thanks and Regards
Max
PS: my dev env: SDK-2.1.1 released in 2011/12/12
We are aware of this issue, however a fix is currently not available.
To get rid of the mouse pointer entirely, you may have to revert the mouse cursor support which was added to android frameworks/base sources:
The following commits added mouse cursor support:174cb50 Fix Mouse cursor build failure17128d4 Gingerbread mouse cursor patch
Do let us know if this helps.

Dear Vishveshwar,
Thanks for your hint.
I checked these two patches, but I think they are for mouse event handling. I disabled the source codes in these two patches, but the mouse pointer is still there.
It should be somewhere else shows the mouse cursor while start up
Does this mouse support exist in GB from beginning, or ported from other's patch? Do you have any idea where the patches come from ?
Regards

Did you perform a clean build after reverting the commits? In my experience, modifications to frameworks/base codebase needs a clean rebuild to ensure all the changes are propogated to the android system.
I think maybe I got it wrong. Last week I kept checking this issue on VNC display, but on LCD display, the mouse cursor is not there.
So, revert those patches do work. VNC display is just for some debug tasks, and we can ignore it.
