I updated the system and now I have this bug. It looks like it’s not an uncommon issue but the solutions I found were usually switching to X11. Unfortunately I can’t because Gnome doesn’t support it anymore, unless I’m mistaken. ![IMG20260423131831](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/0/e019d369f52beb5d713ed3b961a3f46031b73db7.jpeg) ![IMG20260423132107](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/6/a6b94990b49ab5a20baa0f9ec4ca472ff951320b.jpeg) Is it possible I broke something by accident or do I just need to wait for it to be patched? I updated OpenTabletDriver and repeated the steps listed on their wiki ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/a/4af87ac705458e1813f05cafc76b3ff84943d22a.png) I made sure the system ignores the built-in driver or whatever it is. ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/6/7658b8de2ffc6a093da35718f24c2c0524fba661.png) It is the same both on the lts kernel and the latest kernel. On a side note, Krita stopped detecting any input from tablet. Maybe it’s related because it can’t handle two inputs at the same time? But it’s not an issue only I have and it seems to already be reported as a bug. ---

Hi, I have this same issue! I get a double pointer AND Krita doesn’t listen to any tablet input. Weirdly enough, other apps (e.g. Chromium) seem to listen to my tablet, but not Krita. Out of curiosity, I tried testing the tablet on the RustRover IDE as well and it didn’t work, so maybe the update has broken compatibility with apps similar to RustRover and Krita. ---

In case you still have this problem I found a temporary solution. I started krita from terminal with an environmental variable set like this env QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM=wayland krita It’s not perfect but at least the pen is somewhat working ---

To bad I have this issue permanatly on my Yoga 2in1 laptop with the new update. The cursor is stuck at cord 0 0 for me aka upper left corner and I can’t really remove the graphics tablet as its built into my screen and disabling “tablet mode” under graphics tablet under gnome settings did nothing to fix it either ---

Looks like new updates has finally fixed this issue for me personally. AKA I no longer see the double cursor stuck in the upper left corner of my laptop screen. Now if only I could get the phatom touches fixed. Those were fixed on Windows by Lenovo but are still a MAJOR issue on linux for me ---

Managed to get rid of the phantom touches by disabling the pen driver using “noinputs” similar to xinput but for wayland/xwayland since xinput is x11 only and thus not usable for me on my GNOME50+Wayland setup
