It may be possible to compile it for you (if it's
not too complicated).  But there's no guarantee
it will work with Xvesa.

OK, I'll check the xv documentation and see if
I can figure something out.

You mean like change it to a finger?  Was that
inside xv?  If so, it maybe possible to use that
with a null file.

I suppose you tried the built-in image viewer (xli)?

I assume your application runs full-screen, so no matter
where the invisible mouse cursor is, it will lie on the 
application window and become visible.  

I'll have a closer look at xv.  It's a pretty capable
program, so it may have an option we can use.
