Bug ID: 479002 Summary: Wayland atomic mode-setting cursors not shown on vmwgfx driver Classification: Plasma Product: kwin Version: git master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: platform-drm Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: stefan.hoffmeis...@econos.de Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When forcing on atomic mode-setting through `export KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=0` on KDE Plasma 6 git master (beta2+) in a Wayland session, on VMware Workstation (vmwgfx kernel driver), no cursor is shown. Looking at `watch -n 1 "drm_info | grep -E 'Plane|Connector|FB_ID|\"CRTC'"` suggests that the plane is assigned to the right CRTC, that the FB_ID changes. There is no applicable log output at level debug+. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. force atomic mode-setting to on via `export KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=0` 2. make sure that software cursors are _not_ on (i.e. _not_ KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1) 3. log into Plasma Wayland session OBSERVED RESULT No cursor visible on screen, but system _acts_ as if there is a cursor present (clicks etc work) EXPECTED RESULT Cursor visible on screen. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Note that right now forcing on of KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS is required due to the Linux kernel (virtual graphics drivers) lacking some capabilities in version 6.7.0-rc5. With Linux kernel 6.8 these capabilities will be present in the kernel and kwin will automatically enable atomic mode-setting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
