[radeon] Distorted mouse pointer under Wayland in Kubuntu 22.10

[Gannet]

After upgrading to Kubuntu 22.10 Kinetic dev. I found mouse pointer distorted. Please, look at attached screenshot. Under X session mouse pointer looks as it should be.

Camera image of the mouse cursor. This cannot be seen on screenshots

SUMMARY
On Wayland and on Wayland only, the mouse cursor has strong graphical artifacts;
The result cannot be captured on a screenshot and is only visible on the screen itself;
The artifact disappears when using the Zoom effect;
This occurs independently of the cursor theme selected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log into a Plasma Wayland session

OBSERVED RESULT
The mouse cursor is stretched vertically and has a square of artifacts around it

EXPECTED RESULT
The mouse cursor looks as intended

backends/drm: handle broken legacy drivers better

Some legacy drivers either don't accept gbm buffers suitable for cursors,
or don't handle them properly. In order to work around that, always do a
CPU import with legacy and use dumb buffers instead.

Partially fixed in 5.25.4. There are no longer colorful artifacts around the mouse cursor, but the cursor itself is still stretched horizontally & vertically and has a scanline effect

Apologies for misinformation, I submitted the comment in a hurry and thought I could edit it later.
- Artifacts still may appear using the mouse cursor, reusing previous screen content (can't replicate consistently)
- The cursor isn't "stretched" horizontally, only vertically.
- "stretched" and "scanline effect" is actually a 1 pixel gap between each pixel of the cursor texture
- Any issues disappear when zooming in

backends/drm: also force linear layout for dumb buffer cursors

While it usually shouldn't make a difference, it ensures that the buffer import

Can someone with an affected setup confirm whether or not it's still an issue with 5.26?

[Gannet (ken20001)]

I am not able to verify as there are no packages for 5.26 in Kubuntu 22.10 yet. I am still on 5.25.5 still.

[Gannet (ken20001)]

Hello. I can confirm, in KDE 5.26 mouse cursor is ok. Thank you.

[Xaver Hugl (xaver-hugl)]

great!
