I'd recommend using xf86-video-nouveau in any case, but some distros
I would like try this out. Do you know how to force the xorg server to choose this driver instead of modesetting?
Found that myself (a Device section with Driver set to "nouveau"):
$ xrandr --listproviders Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x68 cap: 0x7, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:nouveau
And yes, the cursor looks good in v5.11 even without reverting the commit.
