** Description changed: - I am trying out Kubuntu at the moment and I have noticed that when watching videos they flicker. I have tried the different options in the 'Compositor Settings for Desktop Effects' Tearing Prevention and none seem to make a difference other than that if I put it on automatic, the top half of the screen flickers, and with 'full screen repaints' the whole screen flickers. I have tried the official Nvidia driver (352), the one from software centre and the default one - all make the video flicker in full screen. I had the same problem while using Linux Mint Mate, but not while using the Cinnamon Desktop, I also don't remember the problem occurring while using Ubuntu Unity Desktop. - I am fairly new to Linux so I don't know too much about how to go about finding out the problem. + Videos flick in Kubuntu.
