Environment:
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- Kernel: 6.11.0-29-generic
- evdi version: 1.15.0
- NVIDIA driver: 595.71.05 (proprietary)
- GPU: RTX A6000
- Session: X11
- KVM switch: TESmart 2-Way Dual Monitor KVM
Symptom:
Screen corruption/artifacts near mouse cursor occurring on ALL connected displays (not just the evdi virtual display) when a DisplayLink monitor is connected simultaneously with a native GPU output (DP/HDMI),WITH a KVM switch in between. Corruption appears both on evdi-driven and natively-driven outputs at the same time.
Steps to reproduce:
- Connect a native display via DP/HDMI through a KVM switch
- Connect a DisplayLink USB monitor (with or without KVM switch, either is fine)
- Move the mouse cursor
- Cursor-area artifacts appear on both displays
Confirmed reproduction conditions:
- DisplayLink monitor: reproduces regardless of whether it's connected via a KVM switch or directly
- Native DP/HDMI monitor: reproduction confirmed when connected via a KVM switch (TESmart Dual Monitor KVM). Direct connection without KVM does not reproduce the symptom.
Workaround found:
Setting the evdi module parameter enable_cursor_blending=0 (/etc/modprobe.d/evdi-cursor.conf: options evdi enable_cursor_blending=0) resolves the issue completely.
