GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 770001
No cursor with wayland on ARM with llvmpipe (and etnaviv)
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:51:04 UTC
When running wayland on ARMv7 (tested both on a tegra124 nyan_big and an imx6q cubox-i), no cursor is shown on screen. This happens when running GDM and GNOME on Wayland. Both devices were using mesa with llvmpipe. The imx6q was also tested running the (experimental) etnaviv mesa driver. However, running the same setup (with llvmpipe) on Intel x86 hardware with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 in /etc/environment doesn't trigger the issue. Note that while the cursor is not shown, it can still be used (blindly) so it doesn't seem to be an input-related issue. Wayland version is 1.11, GNOME and GDM are 3.20. System in Parabola (Arch-derivative). I tried two things: * Super + Shift + Space (then release) c: didn't do anything particular, cursor didn't show up (on both tegra and imx) * Running weston-launch does show a cursor normally (on both tegra and imx) The issue was reported at wayland: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97356 but it was concluded that mutter is the culprit here.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
