xf86-video-amdgpu: no cursor on 7900 XTX #121

Closed davidgarland closed 1 year ago

This is a known issue: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1894341.html The above link mentions a patch for it: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-amdgpu/patch/?id=9c959fac3af28d191105f63236096ad456dca614

At the moment I'm just applying this patch in my custom repo and I can confirm it fixes the issue, whereas doing SWCursor in my xorg.conf file leads to a flickering, stuttery cursor.

If a PR adding this patch would be accepted I'd be happy to submit one.

Another option that might work well (have not tested) is just using a more up-to-date source version (because the patch is in latest master) based on a fixed git commit rather than a packaged version; their stable releases for the package seem to come out pretty slowly. The last one was a year ago, and since then there have been 11 commits. You can find the commits at https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-amdgpu/log/
