Double mouse cursor top left corner

Hi, I have been having issues after updating nvidia drivers to the latest "nvidia 535.86.05-8". I now have two cursors one that is stuck in the top left corner and which auto clicks randomly. Anyone that can help me fix this annoying issue?

I am currently using Laptop: "Asus Rog flow x16" with GPU 3070 Ti.

Kernel version: "6.4.7-arch1-1-g14"

Here is my Xorg log:

Re: Double mouse cursor top left corner

The log is moot,

[   422.721] (EE) Server terminated with error (2). Closing log file.

because

[   422.721] (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: -19

likely because

Get rid of the nonsense config, every single xf86-video-* package and report back with an updated xorg log of an actually running server.

Re: Double mouse cursor top left corner

Don't know if I did it correctly, I removed the old xorg conf and removed those packages as suggested, did the following after removing the old config:

 sudo Xorg :0 -configure  
sudo cp /root/xorg.conf.new . 
 sudo startx -- -config xorg.conf.new 
cat Xorg.0.log less  

This is the new log :

Re: Double mouse cursor top left corner

Don't know if I did it correctly

No.

[  1720.396] (++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"

Remove that file, don't re-create it and DO NOT RUN X11 AS ROOT!
Especially not w/ "sudo"!

Also

cat: less: No such file or directory

seriously, where did you get these ideas from?
This is neither how bash nor cat work, https://porkmail.org/era/unix/award#cat
