By the way, how did you find that? It seems the faqs.org search form
is broken - I just get 'page not found' errors instead of results.
I googled for something like "mouse cursor numpad X11", and saw that the
"Slashdot X with no Mouse Cursor" link
(http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/01/1945245) looked
promising and scanned through the comments on that article, one of which
(http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=55567&cid=5414364) had the link.
I had the advantage of knowing all this was possible (I even used to
know all the keys by heart, but have since forgotten them, not needing
them often), so it was just a matter of knowing approximately what to
look for. You didn't even know it was possible, so since Google wasn't
friendlier with its hits, it's not surprising you didn't quite know how
to find the info. I strongly suspect I've documented these keystrokes
before in this mailing list from 4 or 6 years ago, but I find it harder
to search the Debian archives than to Google in most cases. (I just
searched, and found where I first learned of it:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/10/msg03836.html, and I'm
fairly confident I've shared the info since then, although my search
just now of the Debian archives failed to support my belief.)
