I recently installed Arch with xorg, picom, awesome, &alacritty on an Intel 12th gen machine. I launch awesome running startx . When awesome launches and I run alacritty, alacritty displays no output in the terminal when I type. The keystrokes are being registered because if I do something to cause a screen refresh (like launch another alacritty instance to tile) the alacritty output updates and shows what I had typed. However subsequent keystrokes once again do not register.
Same issue if I try kitty instead of alacritty. I Don't have the same issue with xterm & I don't have the same issue with Firefox.
I received a suggestion to check that Xorg can find the fonts, and as far as I can tell, it can. I thought it might be a graphics driver issue, but all other applications seems to be running fine
Any suggestions?
