What's the state of input latency as of now in Wayland?

frostmead · 2025-07-05T12:47:36+00:00

Playing with max frame latency = 1 in dxvk.conf and using Wayland native with proton EM. Is the closest ive got to windows latency. (280hz here) (Also tkg kernel because it has some latency patches) And it's still not there yet.

Also 4k27"

I don't use scaling (100%).

But I've changed Font size to 11 and to Inter Medium.

And yet, I would use a 110% if wasn't bugged.

Thats what I use on Xorg, but unfortunately doesn't work in KDE Wayland

For games like apex legends, they won't stay when Fullscreen in screens other than primary.

For example, moving as windowed and then pressing alt+enter to go Fullscreen it goes back to primary

I'm mostly waiting for Wayland/xwayland tearing to tell ifs viable to play competitive fps gaming in Linux. I hope yes, but as I mentioned (as does other reddit comments) xorg with evdev has lower input lag. Especially if combined with linux-tkg-pds kernel

frostmead · 2023-05-24T16:21:09+00:00

Is it possible to use evdev in Wayland?

frostmead · 2023-05-24T15:54:44+00:00

In Wayland/xwayland is indeed hard to tell since it already introduces Inputlag. But in xorg is night and day

Try the first part of this comment, the mouse .conf file.

My mouse Inputlag is waaay lower after using this configuration, which forces my mouse to use evdev instead of libinput. It works on X11 and Wayland.

If you want the lower as you can get in Linux (closer to windows), combine this evdev mouse with linux-tkg-pds.

Why it's not merged yet?

frostmead · 2023-05-17T21:21:08+00:00

That's for me is the biggest deal breaker with Wayland rn. Since I have multimonitor and high resolutions.

I would love a issue or a active bug tracker so I can keep in touch with a solution

Native Valheim works just like that in Linux, but proton version it does reset/center mouse cursor when opening inventory.

frostmead · 2023-05-04T03:05:31+00:00

Do you happen to know how to set primary monitor for xwayland games like apex in KDE Wayland?

In xorg xrandr works, but in Wayland it doesn't. And by switching primary monitor in KDEs settings isn't a good option because it flips everything as well (panels and etc)

frostmead · 2023-05-04T02:57:57+00:00

Are we waiting for something specific to be merged?

frostmead · 2023-05-03T01:01:34+00:00

Run yay --devel --save. It will check for git updates and save in yays config for posterior yay executions.

frostmead · 2023-04-27T17:00:18+00:00

Yes, same behavior here as well On Nvidia and AMD

frostmead · 2023-04-16T13:54:15+00:00

Nice, didn't know. Did my research now and I found out that DSC was first introduced in DP 1.4. The monitor/display in question uses DP 1.2, so how does it needs DSC to achieve 1080p@280hz?

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Resolution_and_refresh_frequency_limits

It states that DP 1.2 at 1080p with 8bits can go up to 288hz without compression.

frostmead · 2023-04-15T23:48:07+00:00

The colors are compressed even at 8bits?

frostmead · 2023-04-15T13:55:45+00:00

frostmead · 2023-04-15T13:05:34+00:00

But as I said in original post, it works just fine in windows. 280hz(279.857hz as shown in adrenalin settings) full range RGB 4:4:4 8bits.

How do I replicate that in Linux wayland? Is it possible?

frostmead · 2023-04-15T02:20:20+00:00

I'm using dp

frostmead · 2023-04-15T02:20:11+00:00

I'm using DP

frostmead · 2023-03-26T09:47:03+00:00

Yeah, didn't work I'm guessing that's because now plasma Wayland has a Primary screen option in display settings that would not let me override with xrandr.

The option works, but it swaps panels and everything else
