If you are using a touchscreen you would, probably, like to hide the mouse cursor. It's possible to hide the cursor after a small delay or to hide it completly
install unclutter
apt-get install unclutter
edit X11 configruation file found in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and add the following line at the bottom
unclutter -idle 0.01 -root
where 0.01 is the time in seconds the cursor should be visible
Use the command:
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf`
to edit the conf file, uncomment the line and add the "-nocursor" to the end of the line
xserver-command=X -nocursor
Reboot and cursor won't appear.
