[Buildroot] [PATCH] Option to disable cursor in X

Hi,

I'm developing a settop-box type of device, and I'm using X for output. Having 
a mouse cursor displayed is not so nice, therefore I tried disabling it. I 
couldn't get a transparent cursor theme to work, and I discovered a simple 
configure-time option for the X server to disable the root cursor by default. 
My guess is that I'm not the only one wanting to disable the cursor, thus, a 
simple patch adding a configure-time option to do so.

Michel.
