Hide Mouse Cursor in VirtualDisplay

[gokulprathin8]

Is there a way to hide the cursor inside of Xvfb?

Can you show me a small program where the cursor is visible inside of Xvfb? If you check the README you see that the cursor is not visible in my examples.

You can always pass extra parameters to Xvfb like

extra_args=["-nocursor"]

Check man xvfb for possible parameters.

I'm using

display = Display(backend="xvfb", extra_args=["-nocursor"])
display.start()
displayEnvVar = os.environ.get("DISPLAY")
os.system("ffmpeg -f x11grab -video_size 1024x768 -framerate 30 -i %s  -draw_mouse 0 out.mp4 &" % (displayEnvVar))

which hides the cursor in both xvfb and ffmpeg .....
