I tried Option "TearFree" "true" with intel driver git version 146959dd5ef28384a3db4fce4bf7840f2b3ec58c or Intel 2.20.2 (with SNA acceleration enabled) + kernel 3.4.7 + vlc 2.0.3 and I did not have tearing anymore even disabling vlc fullscreen option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755841 Title: [sandybridge] Graphics tearing when playing video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/755841/+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
