Actually, it should be 0x00, not 0x01 otherwise the cursor is a visible
1x1 black pixel...

So the correct empty.xbm file should contain:

#define empty_width 1
#define empty_height 1
#define empty_x_hot 0
#define empty_y_hot 0
static unsigned char empty_bits[] = {
   0x00};

And then use the given xsetroot command

xsetroot -display :0.0 -cursor empty.xbm empty.xbm

Cheers,
Olivier.
