Nice to see this will be finally fixed. You have to make a udev rule to work around this at the moment.

    If this is normally only used for full screen 3D, would there be a way to enable it only on fullscreen, a. la. the old unredirect full screen windows in X11?

      Linux currently doesn’t have a concept of “exclusive fullscreen” in the way that Windows does. A new wayland protocol can probably resolve this, although I’m not sure if any work has been done for that yet.

      You could do it manually though most likely by having a script check if the current window is fullscreen (which you can do with sway/wlroots easily at least) and then apply the change. But there would be some false positives where you might not want the behaviour (like a video player), although if you’re watching high resolution/high framerate content it would be useful.
