Description eric.pouech 2021-03-21 08:57:17 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:


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


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 :


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


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``:


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


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.

Comment 3 eric.pouech 2021-03-21 09:02:08 UTC
sorry first submit was incomplete...

1. Please describe the problem:
after upgrade (& reboot) to kernel 5.11.7-200.fc33, the mouse pointer is displayed with garbage (no pointer visible, just small black lines instead)
=> pointer's bitmap likely broken

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
5.11.7-200.fc33

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 :
it worked fine in 5.10.23-200.fc33
it broke after upgrading to 5.11.7-200.fc33
with current setup, rebooting with previous kernel version (5.10.23-200.fc33) doesn't show the issue
=> regression introduced in 5.11.7-200.fc33

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
just log in graphical mode

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``:
no

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

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.
two attachments provided (one for working kernel, one for non working as expected kernel)

Comment 4 Alessandro 2021-03-23 17:32:03 UTC
I confirm same behaviour on Fedora 34 Beta
kernel-5.11.3-300.fc34.x86_64
kernel-5.11.7-300.fc34.x86_64
kernel-5.11.8-300.fc34.x86_64

Runnnig Fedora 34 beta with kernel

kernel-5.10.23-200.fc33.x86_64

fixes the problem.

With kernel kernel-5.11.3-300.fc34.x86_64 in multi monitor workstation (Three GPU and Three monitors) mouse works only on one monitor while on the others i garbage.

Mouse is garbage since gdm so not a Gnome problem

kernel-5.10.23-200.fc33.x86_64 always fixes the problem with correct behaviour

Comment 5 Hans de Goede 2021-03-23 19:11:44 UTC
The attached dmesg shows that you are using a Kepler GPU. There is a known regression with the mouse cursoron Kepler GPUs which is fixed in the next Fedora 5.11 kernel (the one which will be released after the current 5.11.8 one).

In the mean time it is best to just stick with the 5.10 kernel to avoid this problem.
