I could swear that my mouse is lagging on my second monitor but I don’t how how to actually “prove” it, if there’s even a way. I am dual booting windows with fedora workstation gnome and there is a noticeable sluggishness to my mouse control whenever I switch back and forth, but only on the secondary monitor. It is slight but it’s messing with my muscle memory and constantly making me overshoot clicks and buttons. The main display seems to be fine, or at least it’s less pronounced due to higher monitor refresh rate.

Is there any way I can measure it objectively and find the root cause? A diagnostic tool or an app that could test if something is wrong? It’s a recent fedora installation and I’ve gone through all the nvidia driver and media setup steps at this fedora post-install guide but honestly I don’t even know if this is a fedora, gnome, driver or wayland issue (or something else completely)

    From what I read on their homepage, RPM Fusion just provides non-free software that Fedora/RH don’t usually want to ship themselves, it’s just precompiled RPMs for all available Fedora versions. Sounds to me like it should be the same, my currently installed nvidia driver version is 555.58.02 but I have no idea if that correlates to the version of ‘nvidia software’ app. Ugh every issue is just a pandora box of 10 other problems jumping out and strangling you

    edit: Seems to have something to do with wayland/xorg? https://old.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/zxvrxk/nvidia_x_server_settings/ I have no idea what are the implications of this though

      searching around online briefly ive seen mention of “nv control x extension”.

      Are you using X or Wayland? That might be why the options arent all present
