How do you turn off the touch pointer when using a mouse or trackpad?

How do you turn off the touch pointer when using a mouse or trackpad?

I have an ASUS Transformer Prime with the keyboard dock and just installed PocketCloud Pro, which for the most part is working very well. I just can't figure out disable/hide the touch pointer when using PocketCloud in the keyboard dock; I'm using the dock's track pad and the Android mouse pointer. I tried the two-finger tap and that doesn't work; there's also no "menu" button with ICS so I can't do it the way the user manual suggests.

Also is there any way to scroll windows using the track pad/android mouse pointer? The track pad works well for most things (selecting, positioning the cursor) but I can't seem to "grab and hold" slider bars, instead I have to just click the space above or below a slider bar to move data in a window. I tried an actual mouse via the USB port as well and it was the same.

It would be nice if a mouse scroll wheel would work - in the settings menu for PocketCloud the mouse scroll wheel does let you scroll through the list of options, but it is non-functional when actually viewing a desktop.

Thanks for any help!
