When starting KWin like: KWIN_COMPOSE=Q kwin_wayland --framebuffer [...] redrawing does not work properly. The mouse cursor for example does not get cleared and sometimes the cursor is not visible at all until triggering a redraw. This diff I found (for RebeccaBlackOS) suggests that they had the same issue: https://github.com/n3rdopolis/rebeccablackos/blob/master/rebeccablackos_files/usr/share/RBOS_PATCHES/kwin.diff Reproducible: Always
How about the DRM backend? Is it showing the same problems as framebuffer?
The DRM backend works fine on my Laptop but is currently broken on QEmu (segfault, bug 364740) so I couldn't test it with the same setup yet.
ok, that sounds then like it's a problem in the framebuffer platform.
