I also had tearing and finally got rid of it. I have: MCP78S [GeForce 8200] AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 with latest updates from proposed 2.6.31-6-rt x86_64 kernel gnome + compiz
The fix: - enable Sync to VBlank in nvidia-settings (opengl section), compiz - restart compiz - tearing stops in compiz (rotate cube) and video playback The least tearing during H264 playback in mplayer is with '-vo gl' (not gl2, or xv, or x11). I'll will maybe checkout ffmpeg-mt if it makes a difference on other video outputs - high cpu usage may also be the cause. Would it makes sense to at least warn users about having sync to blank turned off? -- Screen tearing at top of screen with VSync enabled on Compiz with fullscreen OpenGL programs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
