Gnome wayland session. Mouse freeze with GDM login.

I finally decided to try wayland. I thought it is about time with Gnome 3.18.

Just this one issue so far. If using GDM, mouse freezes right in the centre of the screen after successful login. It works on the actual GDM screen but then stops when gnome session kicks in.
If I start the session without GDM like `gnome-session --session gnome-wayland` , mouse works perfectly. If I use GDM it freezes.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

P.S. Fresh arch install as of 26/10/2015

Re: Gnome wayland session. Mouse freeze with GDM login.

Did you install ' libinput ' and ' xf86-input-libinput ' ?

Thanks for your help.
`libinput` is installed as clutter dependency. `xf86-input-libinput ` should be irrelevant since I am on wayland. I tried it anyway - it did not help.

FWIW I found a workaround here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1147695

(Go to a TTYS and start gnome that way)
