Description

So it seems like the mouse features are not working straight away on fedora 29. The Curser or buttons below the cursor just flicker. No mouse movement whatsoever. Maybe this is related to Wayland Support ? However i also tested Keyboard functionality wich seems to work fine.

Any ideas ? ...
