This release will solve the missing cursor in Steam while using SteamController on Wayland?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I hope so. It affects everything that is controlled via an xwayland window, including steam input from my understanding

I don't think so. But there is a workaround utility called extest to emulate the XTest protocol that the steam controller relies on for cursors. I haven't tested it myself, though.

I think the only thing missing now is to add support for PresentOptionAsyncMayTear on Mesa.
