Bug Description

I'm not sure how to report this really as it's not a bug but still quite severe. Bear with me as I'm a Unity dev mainly.

Unity uses function calls to X11 for setting mouse cursor positions. Many games use this to lock the cursor to a certain position.

With no backwards compatibility to XWarpPointer these games will be broken in Wayland.
As there's little chance these games will be updated, the only possibility here is that Wayland supports this in some way.
