Dual AMD GPU on laptop

Here is what’s happening: whenever I move the mouse pointer inside a browser window, some black squares (visual artifacts) appear right next to the cursor, as if that area isn’t refreshing properly.

I have already tested multiple browsers and the issue persists across all of them. Interestingly, the problem is strictly limited to the inside of the browser window; as soon as the pointer moves outside of it, everything looks and works perfectly normal.

Could this be caused by the GPU drivers? If so, is there any workaround or setting I can tweak to prevent this unpleasant behavior?

This is caused by the use of BDirectwindow together with a driver that doesn’t support hardware cursors. We have been discussing this in another GPU driver thread: My adventure writing a display adapter driver

It’s not particularly related to web browsers, but I guess the ones you’ve tried are all GTK based, and currently the GTK backend for Haiku goes through a Wayland emulation that uses BDirectwindow.
