Bug Description
Impact
------
In the Wayland session with older Nvidia graphics (usually nvidia driver 470), a software cursor is used instead of a hardware cursor. This causes worse performance with unnecessary updates of the display.
Test Case
---------
1. Set up an Nvidia-only desktop. No other GPUs active. Driver version must be 470 or higher.
2. Add this to /etc/environment:
MUTTER_
CLUTTER_
3. Reboot.
4. Log into 'Ubuntu on Wayland'.
Observed: The red and blue boxes from the above debugging option follow the mouse cursor.
Expected: No red and blue boxes follow the mouse cursor.
