I have built Xfwm4 myself, I tested it for weeks now and I can confirm that fix the tearing problem with Nvidia proprietary drivers.
I don't really care for me since I can build Xfwm4 myself but it's for all other people that are plagued with this for years now. I think it worth it to include it in Wily. Anyway if someone is interested, this is how I build Xfwm4: $ sudo apt-get install checkinstall git build-essential xfce4-dev-tools coffeescript pkgconf libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libxfce4util-dev libxfce4ui-2-dev libxfconf-0-dev libwnck-dev libxfce4ui-1-dev exo-utils libepoxy-dev $ git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4 $ cd xfwm4/ $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ --disable-debug && make $ sudo checkinstall -D make install $ sudo reboot Note that you simply have to enter a verison number compliant with debian policy like 4.12.4 and press enter when it hang. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294600 Title: Add support for tear-free compositing in Xfce To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1294600/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
