Hey All, Could you please do the following to help me figure out what render strings I should key on? 1. Install glxinfo on the machine. 2. Then run 'glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer string' from a terminal. 3. Paste the output in this bug. Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because

Hey Ryan, Thanks for the additional info. Hmm, it seems there are folks who still use the 304 driver on newer machines. I'm also not sure if folks are having the refresh issue using 304 drivers on newer GPUs, so I don't think it's a good idea to blacklist the 304 driver. I found a list of inte

For what it's worth, we have not had problems with nvidia-304 on more recent GPUs, so I'd be inclined to blame the hardware (maybe that generation, maybe the integrated type like you mentioned) sooner than the driver. But you're right that blacklisting the older driver would probably eliminate the

Hmm, we now have two different GPU's mentioned as being negatively affected by the X11 Sync Nvidia patch. However, both of these GPU's are integrated in the motherboard chipset. On top of that, Nvidia has dropped driver support for these GPU's. I'm thinking about maybe adding some sort of blackl

Hey Eloy, Regarding the question of why going back to the previous COmpiz version works, my guess is that a bug exists in the GPU and/or the Nvidia 304 in which it doesn't handle the GL_EXT_x11_sync_object OpenGL extension. So far in all of the user testing of this patch, only the GeForce 6150SE

Hi Ryan, Thanks for the quick reply. I indeed have a GeForce 6150SE so bug 1404015 could be a match in my case. I will upgrade to the latest version of compiz in trusty-updates, disable x11-sync, and report back. The question I'd have is how to explain that going back to the previous compiz versi
