Option to disable mouse cursor in QT

Hi,

My company is developing a touch screen product and we are using QT. Because of the touch screen, I don't want to display any mouse pointer/cursor so I patched buildroot to disable it at configuration time. As touchscreens become more and more common some other people may need this patch as well, so here it is:

diff -crB buildroot-2010.08/package/qt/Config.in buildroot-2010.08-patched/package/qt/Config.in *** buildroot-2010.08/package/qt/Config.in 2010-08-31 23:07:06.000000000 +0100 --- buildroot-2010.08-patched/package/qt/Config.in 2010-09-28 08:56:31.000000000 +0100

Hello Jean,

Sounds like a good thing to have.

Could you format your patch as an unified diff, and add the proper description + signed-off-by-line ? This would allow us to keep proper attribution on the patch. If you're not interested by being directly attributed the work of this patch, I can also merge it manually.

Regards,

Thomas
