The repo you are talking about is: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/tree/ubuntu/master
but that's not what I was referring to. I was referring to upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter Since we are extremely confident that Ubuntu will receive mutter version 3.36.1 it qualifies as Fix Committed, where that commit is presently upstream only. The policy is not written down but was requested by seb128 (engineering manager). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867757 Title: Please pull Mutter cursor fixes for DisplayLink devices Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: For GNOME/Wayland to use hardware cursors on DisplayLink devices (proprietary userspace driver for USB 3 devices), the following Mutter fixes should be included: Mutter 3.34 branch (tentatively 3.34.5): - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1116 Initialize cursor support on GPU hotplug (backport to 3.34) Mutter 3.36 (currently master) branch (tentatively 3.36.1): - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1079 Handle lack of explicit cursor planes better - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1097 Initialize cursor support on GPU hotplug Without "Initialize cursor support on GPU hotplug" performance on hotplugged DisplayLink devices that create a new DRM device node suffers, because Mutter uses a software cursor which implies that DisplayLink needs to update the whole screen on every cursor motion. Without "Handle lack of explicit cursor planes better" there will not be a cursor at all on DisplayLink devices in Mutter 3.36. I would assume that the 3.34 branch is relevant to Ubuntu 19.10 and the 3.36 branch is relevant to Ubuntu 20.04.
