Note: A majority of this was taken from X-Big-Cursor HowTo
In case anyone needs to know, here's how to create an invisible cursor on your desktop/games:
1. Make a directory called $HOME/fonts (if you want, you can place this under /etc/X11 somewhere as root, instead of making this a user only setting)
2. Go to http://www.geocities.com/andygrebe/linux/inviscurs.html, copy the text and place in a file, $HOME/fonts/cursor.bdf.
3. Next, use the mkfontdir command to create font.dir under $HOME/fonts.
mkfontdir $HOME/fonts
4. Modify your .xinitrc before you load any X client.
xset +fp $HOME/fonts
xsetroot -cursor_name X_cursor
All done, just ctrl-alt-bksp and restart your X server if you're in one or just startx!
