SUMMARY I've just upgraded my VM on a Macbook M3 to run Plasma 6 and now the mouse cursor is invisible. Unless I set KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 (which makes it show up) it's impossible to use the mouse for anything. This wasn't a problem with Plasma 5.x.y, zo this is a regression. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Plasma 6 in a Qemu VM OBSERVED RESULT No mouse cursor is shown EXPECTED RESULT Mouse cursor to be shown SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Alpine Linux Edge KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This system runs in a Qemu VM (using the UTM application) on macOS.
Please check kwin's logs. Reset the bug report status after uploading the logs
Created attachment 166381 [details] wayland-session log from SDDM I'm not sure where to get KWin logs from, so I'll just upload the entire Wayland session log from SDDM, I hope that's enough. This is with the env variable applied, do you need it without it as well?

Uh, I did provide info...
It should be fixed since https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5631, can you retest on 6.0.5?
Nope, still an issue on 6.0.5 sadly.
> kwin_wayland_drm: Atomic Mode Setting disabled on GPU /dev/dri/card0 because of cursor offset issues in virtual machines Hmm, that in the logs is surprising, both that it is there and that it's not working with that. What kernel version are you using? And if you set KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=0, does that change anything?
.
Oh sorry. Kernel 6.6.39 at the moment, KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=0 doesn't change anything. Since reporting I upgraded to Plasma 6.1.2 but it still happens.
okay, 6.6 already supports the drm properties for KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=0 to be the default. Does KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1 make a difference?
Sadly it does not no
