Seperate Video modes for GUI and TV Playback and mouse cursor

Ever since I enabled Seperate Video Modes, whenever I play a video (AVI,
ISO, MKV, or recording) the mouse cursor appears on the screen and stays
there even after I close out of the video. I have the Hide Mouse check box
checked, but this mouse cursor is still on the screen. Any ideas? Am I
doing something wrong?

Mythbuntu 9.04 x64 FE, x32 BE
Myth .21 with JYA's repo

Thanks!

Jim

I use unclutter; it works wonderfully.

So this is a common issue?

This issues appeared with Ubuntu 9.04 ; wasn't occuring with 8.10 and
earlier. Not to sure what happened.

As soon as you change the refresh rate, the mouse cursor suddenly appears.

So work around I use is move the cursor to the bottom right corner
before starting myth with:
/usr/bin/xwit -root -warp 1920 1080

1920x1080 is the dimension of my screen

xwit looks really handy but where did you get it?
rpmfind.net doesn't
and yum whatprovides */xwit is similarly ignorant (with all atrpms
repos enabled)
I'm using fedora 11

JYA,

Thanks so much. This works great. I can still see a little bit of the
mouse in the bottom right corner, but it's not dead center anymore. I can
live with that. Is this still happening on 9.10? Thanks again!
