Thanks . I sorted it .. turned out to be a misunderstandng from my side.
Can I hide the system mouse pointer?

Another issue:
I don't know if anyone knows about this but ( long shot :-) ),
I am relying on the imx8 message unit (MU). I have been using polling 
against it, but now I need interrupts. But I can't get it to work. I am 
trying to enable it on CPUB side. no effect. So I tried it in Genode CPUA 
(Core 0) and after setting up interrupt in the MU chip I got interrupts 
from the cpu. So the qeustion is: Is it only possible to set it on Core 0 
and if so , can I route it to Core 1 in Genode. I have been looking in the 
gicv3 code and it seems like it only does core 0. I have also tried to 
enable it in genode and after that setting affinity on the second core ( 
from the second core). No effect. Interresting enough is that I can enable 
SoC timer and get it to interrupt core 1 ( not setting anything in Genode 
/ Core 0).
