I was wondering If in a future software update for the Eos you can put in a function to turn off the cursor.  When I leave my mouse pluged in the cursor slowly drags across the screens.  So I unpluged my mouse and looking at the cursor in the middle of my screens drives me mad.

In 1.5 the cursor auto-hides if the mouse isn't being used...if you have your mouse plugged in and the cursor slowly moves across the screen, this isn't going to help, but if you unplug the mouse, the cursor will disappear.

It is possible in a future release we will put an option in to hide the cursor completely, though that isn't on our list of things to do right now.

I saw this a bit with my Ion, depending on what surface the optical mouse was sitting on.  The mouse didn't move, but the textured surface of the table top confused the mouse, causing drift.  What if you move the mouse so the cursor is at the far side of the screen where it tends to drift to? (you manually pre-drift it where it's going to go?)

Just a thought.
