Hello friends,
on a clean arch linux installation with the Gnome 3 desktop I have two cursors on the desktop. One cursor, that reacts on the mouse pad and the other reacts on the stylus pen.
On Ubuntu and on Manjaro (Arch Linux based distro) there is something installed or configured that the mouse pad and the stylus get the same cursor.
Does anyone know, what I should do for only one cursor? Thanks!

Not off hand, but you might check the Xorg logs on both machines to see what drivers are being used, then check the documentation on those drivers.
Unfortunately, you are likely to have a unique problem here, so all we can really do is point you in the right direction.

I have some new information.
The "issue" (second cursor for the stylus) has to do with Wayland and may be deliberate.
See the output of xinput under Wayland:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-cursor:16 id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-eraser:16 id=11 [slave pointer (2)]

⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ xwayland-keyboard:16 id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
If I start gnome with X the cursor for the stylus and the touchpad are the same one but the stylus eraser doesn't work anymore.

Another bad thing under Wayland is the buggy rendering of some gtk3 applications. Under X these gtk3 applications are rendered correctly.
I think X is the better choice for me. Are these enough information to help me that my stylus eraser also works under X?

Does the pressure work under X as well?
