Can I Hide the mouse cursor?
Is there any way to hide the mouse cursor when viewing live tv or recordings? Right now I have to move the mouse to the bottom-right corner, but it has a way of creeping back into the middle of the screen over time...

Pressing play while watching a show brings up the display. After a few seconds the display disappears and so does the mouse cursor till you move the mouse again.
That should do it.. |

setup -> general -> hide mouse icon
the mouse dissapears when the OSD autohides Gog |

I've done those things, but the mouse never disappears...
Hiding the mouse icons just gets rid of some of the arrows like at the top left corner of the screen, but doesn't seem to have any effect on the mouse. |

Sage (for me) only hides the mouse when it is in focus... As I drive it with the remote, sometimes when I pop it up from sleep, or if another Window pops up, Sage loses focus, but the remote commands still work. (you cannot see this in full screen mode)
Click the mouse on Sage gives focus back, and then Sage hides it!

ok... I'm having the same problem now... the mouse won't go away. There's no other windows in the background. There's nothing else running at all. The setting in general is disabled... the mouse cursor just won't go away. And while watching TV, the OSD will not go away while the mouse cursor is there. I have to hit the green button to get the OSD to go away and the mouse cursor still remains.
This is REAAAAALLY irritating. I am bringing some friends over in the morning to show off sage on the big screen HDTV at 1080i.... and this starts happening. |

Correction to my above msg:
It could also be that the properties file has autohide_osd set to false... (but you would have had to manually change this) (and setup -> general -> hide mouse icon means hide the clickable mouse buttons in various places -- it will not hide the mouse cursor)

May find some useful information in this thread. I have used the mouse & taskbar hider and it seemed to work pretty well. I just made it so my remote could hide/unhide the mouse.

Barring running an external program, I've done everything short of wiping the machine entirely and reinstalling. I DID already have to uninstall java and sage and reinstall those due to SOMETHING wigging out when I installed cayars. Pretty sure it was the JRE's fault... But anyway... This is most definitely... 100%... a bug in sage. Too many people are using workarounds and external programs for it not to be.

ummm... of course someone has... I mean... uhhhh... surely... DAMMIT!
Ok ok... Doing so right now. Btw... I'm getting some other odd behaviour out of it now in the same vein... When the mouse wouldn't go away neither would the OSD and I would have to hit the OSD toggle button on the remote to get it to leave. NOW, the mouse just decided that it should probably go away, but the OSD is still staying put RANDOMLY. Sometimes it will go away after about 20-30 seconds and other times it won't go away period. Very bad on the tv when you fall asleep and wake up six hours later with the osd still hanging about... Rear projection big screens are very succeptable to burn in. Anyway... I am off to report to support. ZOOM! Kanati |

Is it a bug in Sage or is it user setup or is it both?
