Cursor lagging near constantly (LXQT Spin F41)

After the upgrade to F41, my mouse cursor has been lagging pretty often with no pattern to it. I tried downgrading the kernel from 6.11.5 to 6.11.4, but no dice. It came right back. It gets stuck, seems to slow down for about half a second, and then goes back to normal.

I am not on Fedora, but I am also on 6.11.5 and share similar issues (NixOS)

Something changed in a kernel update I’d have to assume. This is not the only issue I’ve started experiencing.

My webcam remains powered off until it’s actively in use (power LED used to remain on), and my Focusrite interface does not work unless replugged in.

I am going to try switching to an lts kernel on my machine and see if that fixes it. Something had to have regressed.

I tested 6.10.1, while my audio interface works fine now, laggy cursor still persists

Now I’m just clueless lol.

This may be related: Mouse consistently lags after constant movement / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums

With those particular logs, I noticed I only had em with libinput on Xorg (didn’t notice visible lag but had the dropped events logs); installing and forcing evdev didn’t have those dropped events and worked fine.


You’ll need to install the xorg-drv evdev package (something like that with input). I also used synaptics at the same time as evdev (also a separate xorg-drv-input package). I think evdev can handle Touchpads:

sudo -e '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-evdev.conf'
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Pointer (evdev custom)"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
    Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Touchpad (evdev custom)"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
    Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
EndSection

But if your touchpad can also use synaptics:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Touchpad (synaptics custom)"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "TapAndDragGesture" "0"
    Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
    Option "PalmDetect" "0"
    Option "CircularScrolling" "0"
    Option "TapButton3" "0"
    Option "TapButton2" "0"
    Option "TapButton1" "0"

    Option "RBCornerButton" "0"
    Option "RTCornerButton" "0"
    Option "LockedDrags" "0"
    Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "0"
    Option "CornerCoasting" "0"
    Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
    Option "VertEdgeScroll" "0"
EndSection

You need to be using Xorg sessions for evdev (Wayland any DE/WM afaik is libinput-only), but forcing evdev like that also works generally any Linux distro and even FreeBSD. Xorg.0.log shows what driver is being used for what (should be a few libinput references and a lot more evdev).

i am using a wired mouse, and not a touchpad, unfortunately
if there’s a touchpad in the sysinfo it’s my dualshock 4 controller.

Ah, in that case I’d still try forcing evdev. That 99-evdev.conf should still work fine as-is (having no Touchpad means nothing detected and nothing for a driver to load to, but you can also remove the Touchpad InputClass section)

realized, tried it, nothing changed. oh well

edit: actually, i just noticed. i play with a game controller, and it is also getting hit by the lags, it will double or triple input once in a while. (equally as often as the mouse lags come and go, and the steam big picture mode seems to also lag with it)

ok, after updating literally everything today
first the kernel (didn’t fix it)
then everything else.
the issue seems to have disappeared (seems like ibus got updated, maybe something to do with it?)

edit: No.
why can’t it just work properly?
This is seriously causing issues, and it happens in Wayland too.

after some cursory searching through logs, i didn’t find the dropped inputs or anything. my mouse is forced to evdev, it doesn’t fix it, my controller seems to also drop inputs randomly or double input them.

Nothing in:

  • Xorg.0.log

  • libinput debug-events log

  • dmesg

  • dmesg

  • journalctl

Edit: At this point, I just want to find the source of the issue, because it’s obviously not kernel related, and obviously not directly related to libinput/evdev. Xorg also can’t see whatever’s causing it.

Edit 2: I downgraded to F40 with the kernel that was on the Image (6.8.5). The problem persisted after I updated everything in DNF to the current versions.

Seems like it’s some random input-related package causing the issue, as the issue now exists on F40 in 6.8.5 … And I’m assuming this problem exists everywhere, as well, judging by the fact you’re here, lol

Hello, it was related to the monitor somehow. It doesn’t seem to be related to Fedora or any linux distribution, as it happens across all distributions I’ve tried.

append:
My monitor is apparently some kind of VRR. Enabling “TearFree” and “SWCursor” in x11 seems to have made the stutters disappear entirely on the cursor’s end
