Multi-monitor cursor bug

[ikcii]

Current settings:

monitor = HDMI-A-1, 1920x1080@120.04, 0x0, 1, transform, 1
monitor = DP-1, 2560x1440@179.96, 1080x520, 1

The problem:

output.mp4

There seems to be an invisible zone around 1.5cm thick on the right edge of my left monitor, if my cursor is located within it, the visuals of the cursor get pushed to the left to the edge of that zone. Makes pressing any potential buttons in that zone extremely annoying and moving the mouse between the two screens feels really janky. Happens in all software and even without any programs opened with the default cursor, I've shown it in the drawing software to make my actual mouse movements visible.

Seams that you did not push second monitor far enough. First monitor is width of 1920 and you pushed second monitor to 1080. So that means, that 840px are shows on both monitors. These could be that 1.5cm that you are talking about.
Try this:

monitor = HDMI-A-1, 1920x1080@120.04, 0x0, 1, transform, 1
monitor = DP-1, 2560x1440@179.96, 1920x520, 1

No, the 1080p monitor is rotated 90 degrees.

Same issue here, 1080p monitor rotated and has ~3cm deadzone when attempting to go to the right monitor

[samflores]

Same issue when the monitor is rotated 90 degrees. I tried rotating the monitor 270 degrees (and physically rotaing it) and I get a dead zone at the bottom of the screen instead and since I don't have another screen set bellow it, I can't access that portion of the screen.

[testc2n14]

same issue but i also have a dead zone at the bottom one of my montiors as well as the side.

my config

monitor=HDMI-A-2,3840x2160@60,  0x0,    1.25                                    # acer
monitor=DP-1,   3840x2160@165,  auto-center-right,      1,      bitdepth,10                     # Odyssey G7
monitor=DP-5,   1920x1080@60,   auto-center-right,      1,                      transform,1     # lg 1
monitor=DP-6,   1920x1080@60,   auto-center-right,      1,                      transform,3     # lg 2

issue is still happening in 0.55.3

[Ceye4n]

same issue here, but after setting

cursor {
    no_hardware_cursors = 1
}

it works again (on amd)

can anyone else try that too?

weirdest part is that it's fine on arch for me, but shows up on cachyos or when I replace the arch packages with the optimized cachyos ones

[joaovl5]

worked for me too

[Jinra]

Seeing similar behavior here where I cannot move my mouse (visually) to the bottom of my vertical (DP-2) monitor. I can still interact with things down there, but just can't see where the mouse actually is.

Config (Don't mind me not using monitorv2 for DP-1, I have that for a specific, unrelated, reason):

monitorv2 {
    output = HDMI-A-2
    mode = 2560x1440@60
    position = 0x0
    scale = 1
    bitdepth = 10
}
monitorv2 {
    output = DP-2
    mode = 2560x1440@60 
    position = 5120x-250
    scale = 1
    transform = 3
    bitdepth = 10
}
monitor=DP-1,2560x1440@360,2560x0,1,vrr,3,bitdepth,10

v0.54 update - My mouse is now a big, roughly 120x120px, black square on my transformed (veritcal) monitor with hardware cursors on

[aniketkotal]

this issue doesnt happen with no_hardware_cursors = 1. could use this as a fix(until its actually fixed)

[glats]

is any issue to tracking the future solution? to subscribe it

[Jinra]

0.54.1 fixed the black square, but yea same issue where it wont reach the bottom of my transformed screen; I'd prefer to be able to use hardware cursors and direct scanout

[LittleMonkeyMojo]

I have this same issue, which the no_hardware_cursors=1 variable took care of for me, But I also have additional input which I thought might be useful for the developer(s).

I have this screen setup as a scale of 0.80, but tested all I'm saying below in both scale=1 and scale=0.80. I have also pushed that monitor out of any possible overlap with my other monitors with an appropriate position= argument.

My screen sits to the right of my primary monitor and has a larger bezel on the bottom of the monitor (as designed for normal landscape viewing), and putting that bezel toward the other screen ruins the visual. I keep my screen rotated vertically (90 degrees left), with the normal top of the monitor to the left, large bottom bezel to the right. In this position, Transform=3 is appropriates but leaves a gap at the bottom of the screen (as oriented) that is unapproachable. From here on out, I will talk about the sides of the screen as oriented, not as manufacturer intended (normal landscape).

So, I rotated the screen the other direction (90 degrees left) and used Transform=1, this resulted in a unapproachable gap along the whole right side of the display. This made me even more curious...

Transform=0, (0 degree rotation) no gaps, obviously works
Transform=1, (90 degree (right) rotation) - gap along entire right edge
Transform=2, (180 degree rotation) - gaps along both the right edge and bottom edge
Transform=3, (90 degree (left) rotation) - gap along the bottom
Transform=4, (0 degree rotation, flipped) - gap along the left edge
Transform=5, (90 degree (right) rotation, flipped) - no gaps, display works correctly
Transform=6, (180 degree rotation, flipped) - gap along the bottom
Transform=7, (90 degree (left) rotation, flipped) - gaps along both the left edge and bottom edge

[Eiziv]

Is this getting fixed soon? :(

[ViSovereign]

Having the same issue, but after setting (from comment above)

hl.config({
    cursor = {
        no_hardware_cursors = 1
    }
})

it works again

omg you're an absolute legend thank you so much man
