I have noticed that in 10.10, having Metacity set to do compositing causes video tearing (tested apps: SMPLayer, XBMC; both using VDPAU) whereas using Compiz does not (once refresh rates and "Sync to VBlank" are set via correctly CCSM and in the X Server settings).
This is on a system with a GT240 and using the proprietary drivers (version: 280.13). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600178 Title: Screen tearing when dragging window, in videos and other large screen redraws (on nVidia GPU) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/600178/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
