This are my results GNOME: * window movement - OK * video window - ocaasional tearing * full-screen video - occasional tearing
GNOME Classic (*): * window movement - OK * video window - ocaasional tearing * full-screen video - occasional tearing GNOME Classic (no effects): * window movement - tearing * video window - OK * full-screen video - OK Ubuntu: * window movement - occasional tearing * video window - tearing * full-screen video - tearing Ubuntu 2D: * window movement - occasional tearing * video window - tearing * full-screen video - tearing (*) GNOME Classic started with Metacity in both cases. I had to run "compiz --replace" and wait approx 15-20 seconds before it switched to compiz. Gnome 2 with compiz and Gnome 3 behave in identical way. The window movement is fine but video playback shows occasional tearing in irregular intervals. Gnome 2 with Metacity is quite slow when it comes to window movement and shows very heavy tearing, but video playback is perfectly fine. Unity tears in all cases. The window movement is considerably faster and smoother than in Gnome2+Metacity case but tearing is visible. The video playback in Unity is worst of all. Pretty much every frame is wrong in windowed and in full screen modes. Unity 2D has no translucent backgrounds and no blur effects but in terms of tearing it behaves equally wrong. To summarize, there is definitely some problem in Unity that doesn't exist in Gnome Shell or Gnome 2, but the tearing bug is much bigger and much older than Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881685 Title: video tearing in Unity, Gnome Shell is fine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/881685/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
