I'm trying hide the mouse cursor my Debian Jessie with gnome-shell and gdm display manager.

I could easily do if I know how can pass the argument -nocursor to X server with the GDM Display manager.

If I do not use GDM is simple: 

startx -- -nocursor

How do I can do it?

    The command / arguments to start Xorg is [hardcoded in gdm](http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/77342) so I don't think there's a trivial way to accomplish that unless you are willing to patch gdm and add `-nocursor` to the `#define X_SERVER_ARG_FORMAT` line. – don_crissti Feb 20 '15 at 12:11
  • Depending on your setup, you may be able to use something like unclutter. See [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/660613/1858225), which has several useful answers, including `unclutter` and alternatives. – Kyle Strand Feb 25 '16 at 22:00
