I tested again with the latest (275.09.07) proprietary drivers today (compiled on 11.04 from the 11.10 source packages). They exhibit exactly the same tearing problem. None of the usual workarounds solve it completely. The only thing that does work is disabling the composite extension in xorg.conf (which obviously rules out any compiz/unity stuff).
I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention from the Ubuntu/Nouveau/Xorg teams, it's a pretty major issue affecting a lot of people. Does anyone know if other distributions are affected? -- 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
