Describe the Bug
After upgrading to v2025.118.151840 on a debian bookworm system (amd64) with a nvidia gpu, the mouse disappeared and is not reacting when connecting to sunshine with a Moonlight client. I use the AppImage as the sunshine debian package doesn't seem to be that stable.
Workarounds I tried:
- Start with
capture = x11, no change. - Plugging in a "real" usb mouse into the computer, no change.
- Pluggin in a "real" usb keyboard into the computer, no change
Everything worked fine in version 0.23.1.
The computer is a headless server running Xorg and with a dummy HDMI plug.
Expected Behavior
Mouse should be visible an working. Keyboard should be working.
