Not a solution per se, but I believe that in the nvidia-settings app you can force 'triple buffering' on which may alleviate the symptoms. Triple buffering basically stores a copy of the frame between build and display which helps stop partly complete frames from being displayed. (e.g. If the display poll rate is faster than the rate at which the system can render them) Might help, Cheers, Owen. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
