Good, but is usually better to send separate messages for each of the problems you're facing, just to get a more clean thread. > So here it goes: > > 1) I use KDE 4.6, the latest version from unstable, and synaptic to > install packages. synaptic needs sudo permissions, and KDE does that > using kdesud.

I have commented in another thread about a similar problem: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/10/msg02561.html > 4) This happens with all video applications on KDE, VLC, mplayer, etc. > When playing in fullscreen, both machines (with Nvidia graphics cards > and the driver from Nvidia), with compositing or not, with opengl > backend or not, vsync enabled or not, any video shows horizontal > tearing. For this one I would start debugging a driver issue by loading "nouveau" instead "nvidia". If both drivers experience the same it can be something pointing to Xorg :-? > Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.
