This change broke X cursor in my setup, and reverting the commit restores it.
Dell Precision M4800, issue ~2014 with GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M] (rev a1). libdrm 2.4.91-1 (Debian 10.8 stable). There are no errors or warnings in Xorg logs nor in the kernel log.
Could you confirm which ddx is driving the nvidia hw? You can find this out by running "xrandr --listproviders", or also in the xorg log.
xrandr(1) does not seem to list much:
$ xrandr --listproviders Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x48 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
Thanks - this is what I was looking for. name:modesetting, i.e. the modesetting ddx driver.
I checked nouveau source, and it seems like it uses a 64x64 cursor no matter what. Not sure what the modesetting ddx does.
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?
have decided to explicitly force modesetting in preference of nouveau. Oh well. (And regardless, the regression should be addressed somehow, but it's also good to understand what the problem is.)
Can you confirm what the problem with the cursor is?
The cursor looks stretched vertically over a bigger matrix, while missing some lines and being wrapped over the bottom on top of that matrix.
