How to hide the cursor in the kiosk mode automatically?

Wed Aug 14, 2013 7:09 am

I use fullscreen chromium to display some html page as signage. Everything is ok except the mouse cursor.
This command 'sudo apt-get install chromium x11-xserver-utils unclutter ' was run successfully.
I can hide the cursor by using ' unclutter -idle 0.1 -root". But I want to hide the cursor everytime I reboot the Pi automatically.

So how I can do it?

Finally I figured out by myself.
I added '@unclutter -idle 0.1 -root' into /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. Then the cursor is gone. When I need it, I just move the mouse then the cursor will show up again.
