SID: X11 without cursor

#1 Post by wanne »

I'm using wayland so it is not a real problem for me. But if I start X11 i3/icewm/KDE with X11 I do not get any cursor. (It is not only not shown. I can not press anywhere.) Everything is fine with X11 applications with xwayland.
I am using one of these new AMD GPUs.
Would like to file a Bug if it is a real Bug. Does someone else have a AMD 7XXX-Card?
Anybody an Idea how to debug which component is broken?

Code: Select all

$ lspci -d ::0300
0000:03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 31 [Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX] (rev cc)
KDE gives a lot of output:

Code: Select all

org.kde.startup: "kapplymousetheme" ("breeze_cursors", "24") exited with code 255
QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.

QObject::installEventFilter(): Cannot filter events for objects in a different thread.
The X11 connection broke (error 1). Did the X11 server die?

On my minimal systems that start without a cursor I either start an xterm and get the ugly X cursor. You will need to know the key binds to do this obviously or stick something like

Code: Select all

xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
in my xinitrc
