I might be imagining things and it does feel like only one frame higher latency. But experimenting with MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING seems to confirm my suspicion: BAD: MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=auto (the Ubuntu default) BAD: MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always GOOD: MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=never [ Workaround ] Add MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple to /etc/environment. Actually that was already a good idea for the best cursor performance even before this bug. [ Test Plan ] 0. Find a machine with an Intel GPU. 1. Add this to /etc/environment: CLUTTER_DEBUG=frame-timings 2. Reboot. 3. Log in to a Wayland session and wait for the desktop to become idle. 4. Also log in via ssh from a remote machine and run: journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell 5. Over your idle desktop just wiggle the mouse continuously for at least 5 seconds. 6. In your ssh login, verify that the resulting log messages from gnome-shell say "[FRAME_TIMINGS]: Double buffering:" and not "[FRAME_TIMINGS]: Triple buffering:" when only the mouse pointer is moving. [ Where problems could occur ] In the frame rate and latency of the Ubuntu desktop experience.
