Evidently it can, as Wayland does it, but the result is pretty mediocre.
- anyfoo 3y agoYeah, it's the "reasonably" part that I wasn't sure of. At the end of the day, just updating the coordinates in some hardware registers to effectively move the cursor still sounds much simpler (and with more potential for efficiency, as the graphics card can decide how to do it) to me, yeah.

- kaba0 3y agoAs mentioned, basically every wayland compositor does an additional hardware plane for the cursor, so it does it properly and the results are good.
