Hi,

what is your use case? There are several answers depending on what you
are doing and what kind of applications you are running.

All cursors are always set by clients, either applications or in
hmi-controller's case weston-ivi-shell-user-interface.

How does pointer support without a cursor make any sense?
You would be poking blind with the mouse, so there is no ready-made
option to do that.


Thanks,
