Wayland cursr equivalent

I have 2 different resolution monitors (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and I dislike that my mouse gets stuck at the transition where the smaller display is not aligned with the bigger one. I use cursr to fix that but I can’t find an alternative that works on wayland and that’s pretty well the only thing stopping me from making the full transition.

Thanks in advance to any recommendations!

Maybe you are just dealing with the new Plasma 6.1 feature for multi-monitor setups? It’s pretty useful, but I find it annoying too, and thankfully this is KDE, so there’s always the possibility to make it your way.

Here’s a way to tweak the setting to your liking.

I’m referring to the issue outlined here. Thanks for the link to that problem, I haven’t encountered it yet but I haven’t played with Wayland/KDE6 all too much yet

This sounds like a DE thing than a Wayland/X thing.

Corr OP ,

Yeah, X does it too but I have a solution with cursr. That app unfortunately hasn’t been ported to Wayland which is why I’m looking for alternative solutions.

But isn’t this something you can tweak within your DE configuration? I’m on Gnome and don’t have this issue.

Corr OP ,

I can change the scaling of the smaller display to fix it but then everything is too small. I’m not familiar with any other way to fix it. I’ve browsed online to no avail as well

Have you confirmed that Wayland has this same issue?

Yes that’s the case under GNOME, KDE and sway.

Corr OP ,

As the other person said, I’ve tested in Wayland in KDE

I run two different resolution monitors on GNOME and haven’t had this issue. My second display also comes and goes from my laptop pretty frequently, and it’s been flawless, so I’m not sure where the issue actually lies. If it’s in KDE, I’d be looking for a scaling or border setting somewhere to try and figure out the behavior. It may also be that you’re extending a control element of some sort (taskbar in GNOME) to the second display, which you’d want to remove.

Corr OP ,

Changing the scaling either zooms my higher resolution display in too much or zooms the lower resolution display out too much. Maybe the scaling is the only solution though
