1. Please describe the problem: Since kernel 5.11.7, cursors on my Kepler GK107 GPU with nouveau look broken. It required the following fix by Lyude Paul (CC): [PATCH v2] drm/nouveau/kms/nve4-nv108: Don't advertise 256x256 cursor support yet Which has not yet been backported to kernel 5.11. System is hard to use without. 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: 5.11.7 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 : Yes, kernel 5.10 works. This is a regression introduced by cursor work that was merged in kernel 5.11. 4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue below: * Boot system with Kepler GPU to a kernel 5.11.7 with nouveau. 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``: Unknown. I don't think this fix went in for 5.12 yet either. 6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?: Not relevant. 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. Not relevant.
Further to my report, I can confirm that the patch available on the nouveau mailinglist since the 5th of March titled "[PATCH v2] drm/nouveau/kms/nve4-nv108: Don't advertise 256x256 cursor support yet" indeed resolves this issue.

FWIW: the mentioned patch is found on https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2021-March/038113.html
I have submitted a merge-request to get the fix for this added to the Fedora 5.11 kernels: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/979

Same issue for me with Kepler GK208B (Geforce GT730). Downgrading the kernel from 5.11.7 to 5.10.23 helped.
same happening here

What does your broken cursor look like? Asking because I wonder if this is the problem I started seeing after I ran update for Fedora 33 today: The Cursor appears a to be vertically streched, and made of separate scanlines, like on a broken tube TV. My hardware is a HP EliteBook 8570w with "NVIDIA Corporation GK107GLM [Quadro K1000M]" and using the nouveau driver.
@Erkki there is a screen shot posted on duplicate bug #1941300 which looks how mine did. There are other example screen shots on some of the other duplicate bugs you may like to check out.
> My hardware is a HP EliteBook 8570w with "NVIDIA Corporation GK107GLM [Quadro K1000M]" and using the nouveau driver The GK107 is affected by this bug. For now you can stick with a 5.10 kernel as a workaround. The next Fedora 5.11 kernel (the one after the 5.11.8 release) will contain the fix for this.

(following up here from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1941263) just tried proposed solution with kernel 5.11.8 it doesn't fix the issue (same broken behavior as 5.11.7)
(In reply to eric.pouech from comment #16) > (following up here from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1941263) > just tried proposed solution with kernel 5.11.8 > it doesn't fix the issue (same broken behavior as 5.11.7) That is because 5.11.8 does not contain the fix, in bug 1941263 I wrote: "fixed in the *next* Fedora 5.11 kernel (the one which will be released after the current 5.11.8 one)." Note the "next" bit in there as well as "released after the current 5.11.8 one". So when 5.11.9 comes out in a couple of days, then the 5.11.9 Fedora build will include the fix.
sorry Hans, I read too fast (my bad) bumping installonly_limit to 5 in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf just in case <g>
