Mouse input lag
by andreas213 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CSD6)
Hi guys! So since I switched to Debian 12 from Debian 11 I have mouse input lag in the game I play (Wolfenstein Enemy Territory) running native linux binaries using Gnome (version 43) as a desktop enviroment. To isolate the problem to Gnome I did clean install of Debian 12 with XFCE and mouse was working perfectly fine, so I did clean install again with GNOME. When I switch to say, tty4 and run the game with:
xinit /usr/local/bin/et-sdl-sound -- :1 vt$XDG_VTNR
to run it on new bare x server mouse works flawlessly again. When I play another game (Quake Live) on steam through proton the problem doesn't exist. The only idea I have is perhaps that full screen window unredirect doesn't kick in when playing said game and yes the game is running on fullscreen resolution. It is set to 1920x1080. I also tried windowed mode but that didn't help either. Any ideas? Did someone encountered same problem? Cheers and thanks for help in advance :)
