Description

When running a Wayland native game with VRR (vrr=1 or vrr=2) and with no_break_fs_vrr=true and no_hardware_cursors=true (sw cursors are required for the first option), moving the mouse causes the refresh rate drop down the about half of the display's refresh rate, even though the framerate is much higher.

I tested this with Minecraft by unsetting DISPLAY and Half-Life 2 by setting SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland.

Notes:

• This is not a problem when moving the mouse in the menus where the cursor is visible.
• VRR works normally when running the same game with the same settings but with XWayland.
• Setting no_break_fs_vrr=false will instead make the refresh rate jump back to the maximum everytime the mouse is moved.

How to reproduce

• Run a Wayland native game with no_break_fs_vrr=true and no_hardware_cursors=true.
• VRR will function properly as long as you do not move the mouse.
• Move the mouse and the refresh rate will lower to about half the rate of the display (this doesn't seem to happen if the cursor is visible, so VRR works as expected in the menus).
