WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 broken after updating wlroots-git

[Zenzi0]

After updating my system and therefore wlroots to the latest available git (from chaotic-aur) the cursor is no longer visible. Moving the mouse also introduces lag/sluggishness to sway for a few seconds. This lag can be avoided by not using WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1. But then of course the cursor is also not visible.

This problem shouldn't be specific to your package. I am simply interested in whether anybody else is experiencing this and in possible solutions, of course.

I noticed this too, I found that my issue was that wlroots-git and sway-git had been updated out of sync, breaking something... somewhere. Can you try forcibly reinstalling both wlroots-git and sway-git, followed by a reboot to see if that changes anything?

If not, I'd just have to suggest sticking with the non -git variants for now

So are you saying simply reinstalling wlroots-git and sway-git (and a reboot) fixed it for you? Unfortunately that didn't work for me. Luckily the non-git variants seem to work just fine. I have to admit I didn't even think these were an option. I thought we had to stick with -git until some major future release. It's hard to keep up with the latest information (what's needed and what isn't) regarding sway and nvidia. I suppose this is one of the reasons you made sway-nvidia in the first place. Thank you for your advice.

I don't suggest chaotic repo btw. Just stick with AUR & non-git packages as much as possible & it'll be fine. The wayland development is rapid fast. So there shouldn't be any far fetched differences between regular releases & rolling -gits.

Let me know if this is still an issue, the -git versions seem to be working for me now

You are right, the -git versions are working just fine. Not an issue anymore.
