From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wayland cursr equivalent (lemm.ee)

I have 2 different resolution monitors (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and I dislike that my mouse gets stuck at the transition where the smaller display is not aligned with the bigger one. I use cursr to fix that but I can't find an alternative that works on wayland and that's pretty well the only thing stopping me from making the full transition.

Thanks in advance to any recommendations!

Have you confirmed that Wayland has this same issue?

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Yes that's the case under GNOME, KDE and sway.

As the other person said, I've tested in Wayland in KDE

I run two different resolution monitors on GNOME and haven't had this issue. My second display also comes and goes from my laptop pretty frequently, and it's been flawless, so I'm not sure where the issue actually lies. If it's in KDE, I'd be looking for a scaling or border setting somewhere to try and figure out the behavior. It may also be that you're extending a control element of some sort (taskbar in GNOME) to the second display, which you'd want to remove.

Changing the scaling either zooms my higher resolution display in too much or zooms the lower resolution display out too much. Maybe the scaling is the only solution though
