In my case, I don't even have the mouse plugged in.
When I boot the machine up, the arrow is gone.
However, when I use scrset to blank the screen, the arrow pops up
when the screen unblanks.

The arrow returns in the upper left corner of the screen.
Since my mouse is unplugged, I can't move it.
I want to remove it completely.
