And this solves all problems with going to the hardware, since it can be done by creating the proper input event. One could even move the mouse back to the previous position upon recieving the first mouse event to comfort people who feel uncomfortable with having the pointer movve around without user control. I think this is the way I would prefer a mouse blanker to work (I don't like current blankers, I currently just put the mouse to a rest in a corner manually anyway). - Kristian.
