I am currently using the nouveau DRM with fallback xf86-video-modesetting drivers on arch linux with a GTX 1080. I am currently experiencing an issue in x.org where my mouse will be stuck at the position on the top left of my monitor about 10 pixels from (0,0). When I run xev -root, I still see mouse movement registered and I can see the mouse cursor actually change (from cursor to I-bone to glove) as it should depending on what it's "hovering" over. The mouse itself is still usable as I can click/right click things just as normal (I will have to "guess" the mouse position based on what text is selected, what window is in focus from mouse hover, etc).
