libggi and the mouse

I use the fbdev target and the x-target.

I stated that the mouse on the two targets releases different events. 
  - in the x-target never the event "evPtrAbsolute" occurs,
  - in the fbdev target never the event "evPtrRelative" occurs.

Is this behavior normal? 

In the x-target a mousepointer is displayed, in the fbdev not.
If I implement in my aplication a mouse-pointer outgoing from the fbdev
target, then there are two mouse pointers in the x-target.
It seems to be practically to have either in libggi a mouse-pointer
function or at least an option, which switches off the mouse-pointer in
the x-target.
Or are there other possibilities, which get along in the application
without anny calls to libX (ensures portability)?

Is a support for mouse-pointers planned?
If there is same need, I can look if i can get same spare time free.

Raph
