** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues #1008 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1008 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870524 Title: fallback to SW cursor on GPU hotplug Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I guess the title is pretty much self-explanatory. The issue has been discovered while connecting EVDI-backed device (https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi) with a running Xorg session and led to filing of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1870512 However, fixing the issue with SW cursor is only a partial solution in that case, as sticking to SW cursor can potentially hinder performance. I am aware of this (dix/dispatch.c): update_desktop_dimensions(); /* * We cannot register the Screen PRIVATE_CURSOR key if cursors are already * created, because dix/privates.c does not have relocation code for * PRIVATE_CURSOR. Once this is fixed the if() can be removed and we can * register the Screen PRIVATE_CURSOR key unconditionally. */ if (!dixPrivatesCreated(PRIVATE_CURSOR)) dixRegisterScreenPrivateKey(&cursorScreenDevPriv, pScreen, PRIVATE_CURSOR, 0); return i; } as well as several other similar places in Xorg's code. Question is: how big effort would it be to actually fix this? Should this be reported/consulted with the upstream directly maybe?
