not Nvidia, Thinkpad w500.
I've seen some similar issues, such as 813. But mine is a fresh install, so I figured there's enough of a difference to justify creating a new issue.
Can you find out what opengl is supported for your system ?
Hyprland only supports opengl 3.3 +

See Hyprland legacy renderer if it's the case https://wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Installation/#custom-installation-legacy-renderer-etc
@Sshahar you can use this command glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" to get your version
to install the glxinfo package run this sudo pacman -S glxinfo
@Sshahar Any progress on this ?
glxinfo didn't work in different tty (can't open anything in main tty). I think we could safely assume it's an old OpenGL version.
Also, I gave up on trying to fix it for now. Will update if I have any progress.
I have the same problem. When i start pc, sometimes this problem comes up. I have to wait 2-3 min with black screen and cursor displayed then the system works (very slowly in the first 2 min). My OpenGL version is 4.6.
(I have Intel graphic card)
Could you close as solved if you no longer have this issue. Thank you @Sshahar
