I noticed the same thing in Natty with Xv textured video on Intel i945GM. The tearing seems to disappear when using Xv video overlay.
You can try this in mplayer with the following command: $ mplayer -vo xv:adaptor=1 <file> Or by setting XvPreferOverlay to true in xorg.conf, the intel man page says the following about XvPreferOverlay: "Make hardware overlay be the first XV adaptor. The overlay behaves incorrectly in the presence of compositing, but some prefer it due to it syncing to vblank in the absence of compositing. While most XV- using applications have options to select which XV adaptor to use, this option can be used to place the overlay first for applications which don't have options for selecting adaptors. Default: Textured video adaptor is preferred." i'm not sure I had this problem in Maverick as the man page says that textured video does not sync to vblank. I really did notice the tearing after upgrading to Natty though. I can't try with the OpenGL output as it is broken over here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726902 Title: Loss of vsync when using Metacity. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
