I enabled vsync with Catalyst Control Center and running 'aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --overlay-type=Xv', but the video still tears. I tried several Xorg.conf settings but without any improvement. Removing Xorg.conf does not change anything. I have this problem since Hardy with a Radeon HD 3650.

More information: If Vsync is enabled in Catalyst control centre, and gl video output is used, then video does not tear, *as long as desktop effects are not enabled*. It appears as though compiz prevents vsync from working.

Yes. One thing to note is the radeon driver in karmic has anti-tearing features when using XVideo. flgrx and older radeon don't have that.

I can confirm that XV output in karmic and flgrx still tears. I can use gl output, but that corrupts the video in interesting ways when using Compiz (seems to work well without compiz).

I don't know if this helps with your tearing, but this seemed to fix my issues on my machine with video problems. I checked to fix the permissions of /dev/dri/card0, but that did not exist per some other recommendations. I then did a search for card0 and saw that it existed in /dev/ati/card0. I changed permissions by adding the ability for the group to use it (g+rw) and made confirmed that I was part of the video group. It seemed to improve my video handling on my machine.

Still happens with Karmic (updated to 20091023), with Totem set to use Xv and fglrx 2:8.660-0ubuntu4 driving a Radeon HD4770. No modifications to xorg.conf. Tests with fullscreen video Without Compiz In Totem, normal X output doesn't tear (or if it does, it's subtle) but does more than double CPU usage. Using OpenGL in VLC doesn't tear, uses less CPU (but not as little as Xv). Xv tears with a progressive tear line proceeding distractingly down the screen With Compiz (and with sync to vblank and refresh set to match amdcc) In Totem, normal X and Xv tear in a progressive manner, with the tear line progressing down the screen a bit more haphazardly than without Compiz. VLC with GL tears, but in an odd, flickery fashion. CPU is slightly higher (10%) across the board. -- [RV730XT] [fglrx] video tearing / vsync problems - independent of compiz use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303697 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
