Disable showing the mouse movement in VNC server

Here's the scenario:

vnc server - Windows XP

vnc viewer - Linux

When I connect to my vnc server, I am able to see the mouse / keyboard movement at the vnc server from my vnc viewer. For example, when I click on somet开发者_运维问答hing at the vnc viewer, I see the same thing at the vnc server.

Is there a way to disable the mouse / keyboard movement (i.e. put the vnc server in a 'blank' mode, so that whatever I do on the vnc viewer, it will not be reflected on the server side)? I mean the easiest way would be to just turn off the monitor... but I'm not sure this can be with a laptop.

Its part of the VNC Viewer input options http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html#Input

Go to settings on your host, and click on expert. Search for AcceptPointerEvents and set the option to False.
