1. Please describe the problem:

After upgrading from kernel kernel-5.10.23-200.fc33.x86_64 to kernel-5.11.7-200.fc33.x86_64 the mouse cursor in Xorg appears massively distorted (see attachment). Surprisingly the mouse cursor shows normally in screenshots so I had to take a photo.

When I boot kernel 5.10.23, the mouse pointer is normal again so I guess it's a kernel issue.


2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:

5.11.7-200


3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

Worked previously with kernel 5.10.23. Issue appearde with kernel 5.11.7.


4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

Reproducible. Boot kernel 5.11.7 and wait for X server to start.


5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:

Latest Rawhide kernel is 5.12.0-0.rc3.20210318git6417f03132a6.171.fc35 but it fails to install:

"The GPG keys listed for the "Fedora - Rawhide - Developmental packages for the next Fedora release" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package."


6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

No.


7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

Ok.
