I just installed a Endeavour OS on an ASUS TUF A16 laptop.
Since I opened the installer I noticed the cursor was laggy. And a glitch-like line also appeares at the top when I move it.
I finished the installation, using gnome and the issue persists.
It also happens either if I use the touchpad or a Mouse
I’ll try to attach a picture of the line that shows when I move the mouse.
Curious. Might you share the output of xrandr?

EDIT: also, I’ve noticed that if I go to settings - displays and turn on (Adjust for TV) the cursor stops being laggy/jumpy. but the line at the top still appears.
ANd also, when I changed the refresh rate from 165,01Hz to 60,01Hz it was still presenting issues, but when I clicked (Revert settings), the issues (MOSTLY) stopped (no laggy cursor, no line at the top), however Everytime the screen goes to sleep the cursor starts lagging again.
ALSO I’ve started presenting this issue, that certain gnome windows have a black area around it. like this picture
Certainly graphical issues there.
Could you share your GPU details please:
inxi -Gxx
Could you also confirm whether this occurs in both X11 and Wayland.

And, yeah. It seems its the same when I login either using Gnome on Wayland or Gnome Xorg
Also. weirdly enough, I was using an HDMI cable to mirror the image on a TV, and while on the laptop Im using the mouse is still laggy, on the TV it moves smoothly, so the visual lag effect happens only on one screen
With the TV connected, can you run inxi -Gxx again, and see which device (Radeon RX 7600M or Radeon 680M) is driving each display?
At the moment, your Radeon RX 7600M is driving the laptop screen (eDP-1), and exhibiting the issues. If the TV is utilising the Radeon 680M, perhaps this is an RX 7600M specific issue?
Just some thoughts. I’m less experienced with the quirks of AMD GPU’s. My initial hunches were Intel / Nvidia related, but clearly not applicable here.
Hi, this seems to be the same problem and there’s a fix in the thread. Hope this helps:

Sure
Here is the inxi -Gxx outpu while I haver the TV connected by HDMI mirrowing the laptop screen

Thanks I installed vulkan-radeom and unistalled amdvlk
However This seems to have only solved the black borders issue,but not the jumpy/laggy mouse issues on my laptop screen
Under Xorg, if you enable TearFree, does that help? This command will enable it only for the current Xorg session (good to test with).
xrandr --output eDP-1 --set TearFree on
Under Wayland, you might try enabling/disabling variable refresh rate in the display settings, and see if that has any impact.
WHen I ran xrandr --output eDP-1 --set TearFree on I got this output:
warning: output eDP-1 not found; ignoring
X Error of failed request: BadRROutput (invalid Output parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)

Curious. Can you share the output of xrandr again please, under a Xorg session, to double check the monitor name.

This is the input I got after I rand xrandx after login in selecting Gnome on Xorg

Cool, the command should be revised to this then:
xrandr --output eDP --set TearFree on
I Ran the command on the terminal, I got no output, and there doesn’t really see any changes to the situation, I also rebooted the laptop just in case, and its the same.
Also, as an update:
I don’t know at what point it really happened. But the image seemed to not match the screen.
On this image it should be visible that the right side of the screen has a black border, and that part of the screen at the bottom is not fully visible.
I seems I got it fine after enabling and disabling “Adjust for TV” on the display setting a number of times
Rebooting would reset “TearFree on”, as that command only applies to the current session, but so long as you saw the issue persist, that was enough for testing purposes to confirm that didn’t help.
Does running at 60Hz have the same issue?
Im really not quite able to replicate it at the same level now, But I see that if I Turn on adjust for TV The image doesnt fit the screen fine
On this case, it can be seen that there is a black border around, And yeah, it’s the same both at 161,01 Hz and 60,01Hz
But I’ve noticed that disabling Adjust for TV makes the image fit the screen fine. (But again, the lag is more prominent)
Just a note, this setting is intended for use with TV’s that don’t have the “just scan” option (or similar) when connecting a PC. It stops them from clipping off the edges of the displayed image.
It might appear to be improving something here, but it’s not really addressing the issue.
When I look online, the models I see have different resolution to what xrandr output for you here. Let’s back it up a bit, and see if we can confirm what your exact laptop resolution should be.
