Gnah, never mind, just after I wrote the last mail, I found the solution
to my problem by sheer accident while skimming the "xsetroot" manpage.

To remove the pesky mouse cursor, I started the "bitmap" tool, and saved
the empty image right away as "transparent.cursor" after setting the
hotspot. Now, to use this, I only needed to put "xsetroot -cursor
transparent.cursor transparent.cursor" into my .xinitrc, and the cursor
is nowhere to be seen. Yay.

I *knew* it had to be in the docs somewhere!

BTW, SDL seems to crash and take X with it when it's fullscreened and
the used mouse driver is "void". Using a real mouse driver and
"AllowMouseOpenFail" while simply not attaching a mouse works just fine,
though. No idea where this problem lies, probably in SDL, so I'll
contact them instead about this.

Greets,
  Dennis
