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!

Edit: this reddit post outlines my exact problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/1bcnj6l/mouse_trapped_dual_monitor_with_different/

This sounds like a DE thing than a Wayland/X thing.

Yeah, X does it too but I have a solution with cursr. That app unfortunately hasn't been ported to Wayland which is why I'm looking for alternative solutions.

But isn't this something you can tweak within your DE configuration? I'm on Gnome and don't have this issue.

I can change the scaling of the smaller display to fix it but then everything is too small. I'm not familiar with any other way to fix it. I've browsed online to no avail as well

Maybe you are just dealing with the new Plasma 6.1 feature for multi-monitor setups? It's pretty useful, but I find it annoying too, and thankfully this is KDE, so there's always the possibility to make it your way.

Here's a way to tweak the setting to your liking.

I'm referring to the issue outlined here. Thanks for the link to that problem, I haven't encountered it yet but I haven't played with Wayland/KDE6 all too much yet
