XFCE4 glitches while using mouse.
Hello.
Lately I ran pacman -Syu and after reboot I didnt see Ly login prompt.
After some tinkering I managed to run Ly again. Had to reenable ly service and disable getty.
Previously Ly would run at tty1 and graphical interface would then run on tty2.
Now it all runs on tty1 (in Ly config its clear that tty to use is 2).
Also now I experience weird graphical glitches. Parts of my desktop tend to disappear and reappear really quickly while clicking or even moving my mouse.
I recorded video of my desktop catching this bug few times. Sorry for quality but youtube might render it later in more than 480p. Hopefully you can still see what I mean. Sometimes this glitch showed up even without mine interaction. Sometimes this happens to terminal window I type in.
Here is my spec:
Arch Linux linux-zen 6.18.1-zen1-2-zen
Ly (ly 1.3.0-2), X server (xorg-server 21.1.21-1), Xfce4 (xfce4-about returns 4.20)
GPU: RTX 4060
Driver: 580.119.02 (nvidia-dkms)
If you need any more information please ask. If you need any logs please state in which file they are.
Here is what I already tried:
restarting second monitor in xfce4-desktop-settings - didn't help, could say it made things worse.
clearing xfce4 cache - no effect
logging in trough lightdm-gtk-greeter - Xfce4 ran just same as on video.
