SOLUTION: insert WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 in /etc/environment
The cursor is upside down and also lower than where it should be.
I'm running sway in a qemu VM. I installed using archinstall, using polkit. Did some googling, couldn't find a solution. Something to do with wayland apparently. I'm using the Vmware/Vbox drivers provided by the archinstall script (I assumed this included other VM providers).
Any ideas?

Sounds like a hardware cusor problem can you try to start sway with
env WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 sway

Do you usually use Display Manager or tty to launch Sway?

Do you usually use Display Manager or tty to launch Sway?
for some reason I have to launch sway from a tty even though I want to launch through lightdm. Arch's new installer (latest ISO) doesn't work (see other post), so I did it using an older ISO which works but doesn't install lightdm or configure it evidently.
so, tty.

You can use /etc/environment to set this variable permanently.
