Disable mouse in XFree86 [Solved]

Could someone help me to disable the mouse in XFree86?
I commented out all the pointing device definitions in the configuration file, but the darn rodent keeps popping up. I’m running i386-NetBSD-3.0.1 in qemu 0.9.0.

Well, this all depends on what you mean by “hide”. You can always fiddle about with the HWCursor such as:

Option "HWCursor" "on"

You can always tell X11 to load if no mouse is present via the CorePointer parameter, although this will generally display a pointer on the screen.

You can always hide the pointer absolute with ‘unclutter’.
