Thank you very much Daniel for your unity and compiz patches. For me the situation is a little complicated, using a Nvidia ION platform I get: - heavy tearing using Unity and Unity-2d, kwin, Windows 7 with aero disabled - minor tearing using Gnome-shell (upper part of the screen). - zero tearing using Windows 7 aero enabled and any ubuntu desktop environment disabling composite. Zero tearing setting "Force fullscreen redraws on repaint" on Compiz as well, but in this case I get an inacceptable framerate drop.
In my case your patches reduced tearing and improved smoothness in Unity to the level I get in Gnome-shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880707 Title: [regression] Visible tearing is worse in 11.10 than 11.04, even when "Sync To VBlank" is enabled, but only when Unity is active.
