Description

After updating to 0.44.0 I'm getting major framerate issues. When moving the mouse around in any window but especially from window to window the frame rate goes sub 10 for the entire screen.

I only have one ultrawide monitor.

How to reproduce

I went backwards in the commit log to find that it is this https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/commit/e6cf643f5ab1c1545fb858ab1fd9d7538ef9e0f3 that is introducing the issue for me. The commit before works fine

I also have this issue but according to the wiki, hardware cursor on nvidia isn't officially supported. just use

cursor {
    no_hardware_cursors = true
}

or

cursor {
    allow_dumb_copy = true
}

I noticed this as well. This started happening a few weeks back with a commit that changed something with the cursor (probably the one mentioned in OPs report). The interesting part is that prior to that the cursor behaved normally. So no stutters/frame drops even without no_hardware_cursor set on Nvidia hardware. I lack the knowledge to judge whether it was falling back to software cursor automatically or hardware cursor was actually working on Nvidia back then. A bit of a shame, since there was a short time in which I didn't need to use ANY envs specific to Nvidia at all. It was working without specifying no_hardware_cursors in Sway as well (for all I know it still is).

[vaxerski]

this is a limitation with nvidia's hardware that we can't atm do much about.

It was working without specifying no_hardware_cursors in Sway as well (for all I know it still is).

likely falls back to sw cursors by default, which IIRC is the default in hl too.

just use

cursor {
   no_hardware_cursors = true
}

correct, should fix the problem

[dexxiez]

cursor {
    no_hardware_cursors = true
}

Just started having this issue on 0.44 with nvidia, guess i was just on borrowed time lmao, above fixed xx
