There are similar questions on this site, but my scenario is bit different.I have an additional mouse; lets call it X. I use a python script to read X movement (read /dev/input/mouse1) which I use to control an embedded device. However I do not want the pointer to move when X moves. Is there a way to disable only the mouse pointer and not its events?
Disable mouse pointer but read the mouse events
mouse;input;xinput
