Slow Mouse when Full Screen on Linux (admin edit: on Raspberry Pi)

[ayskura]

I see the mouse slows down a lot when using Linux in Full screen... If I enable "Software Mouse" it gets a bit better but still it's slow, while if I exit full screen mouse is working normal as expected.

I have no idea what this is, sounds like hardware mouse isn't used for bigger mouse cursor sizes. Works fine here.

I haven't personally noticed any odd fullscreen slow down on Arch, what distro do you use @ayskura?
also do you have any noticeable errors or weirdness looking through logs relating to your mouse from the kernel or DE?

@ayskura i wonder if you tried with debian arm64, if it would make a difference... what version of ft2-clone are you using?

I tried different versions and all of them have the slow mouse issues, I tried it on different Raspian version, I don't have Debian Arm64, but Raspian should be based on Debian? the way it is, It is really sluggish and makes it impossible to use

The reason for the slow mouse in fullscreen mode is because you are using a Rasbperry Pi. This is even described in the "Known bugs" section in the FT2 help screen.

that's a shame as it's such a nice combination (Raspberry pi with FT2Clone) :(
