Description Daniel T. 2015-08-18 09:23:54 UTC 
Created attachment 117752 [details]
screenshot, both xorg and wayland

since gnome 3.16 enabled wayland by default for the gdm login screen I'm seeing cursor corruption, loging into a gnome wayland session also shows cursor corruption.

Theres no cursor issues with gdm (or gnome) while using xorg (WaylandEnable=false for gdm)

# pacman -Qi wayland gdm xf86-video-intel | grep -e "Name" -e "Version"

Name           : wayland
Version        : 1.8.1-1

Name           : gdm
Version        : 3.16.2-1

Name           : xf86-video-intel
Version        : 2.99.917-5

These are the only changes for upstream xf86-video-intel since 2.99.917, but as far as I understand wayland doesn't use this driver anymore

Comment 1 Daniel T. 2015-08-18 09:28:52 UTC 
kernel 4.0.9
Comment 2 Daniel T. 2015-08-18 10:05:23 UTC 
no changes with kernel 4.1.5

I thought it was working okay with 3.14, but it turns out it was using llvmpipe instead of 1915
Comment 4 Jani Nikula 2016-09-20 10:24:46 UTC 
Is this still an issue with current components?
Comment 5 Daniel T. 2016-09-21 04:18:43 UTC 
I have not booted this machine in a long time. I'll pull it out and test with the fedora 25 beta livecd when its released in about 2 weeks. cheers
Comment 6 Daniel T. 2016-10-22 09:03:23 UTC 
Still seeing the same results with the fedora 25 beta. Linux 4.8rc7 mesa 12.0.3
Comment 7 Elizabeth 2017-07-28 22:01:30 UTC 
Hello Daniel,
Sorry for the way too long delay, is the issue still reproducible with latest kernel versions and mesa? 
Thank you.

Closing as no new occurrences of this problem have been reported since November 2016. If problem arise with latest kernel versions, please file a new bug with HW and SW information and relevant logs. Thank you.

Hi,

this cannot be a Wayland bug. Rationale:
http://who-t.blogspot.fi/2016/11/does-feature-work-under-wayland.html

Please, I would suggest to file a new bug to the specific Wayland compositor where this bug manifests, or if it is a driver bug file a bug for the driver. If you are unsure which component is responsible, I would recommend filing a bug with your distribution.

Thank you.
