By other OS, I presume you mean the ones that *only* support pageflipping compositors? Which for the reasons highlighted above work just fine.
IVB in theory supports vsync'ed writes to the scanout, give or take a few hundred microseconds in signal latency between the display engine and the render pipeline. When I get my hands on an IVB, I'll hook up the required kernel/xf86-video-intel infrastructure and see if the claimed retrofit of vsync works... In the meantime, the only answer is take a leaf out of the other OSes playbook and only use pageflipping. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755841 Title: [sandybridge] Graphics tearing when playing video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/755841/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
