Its a HUGE regression in 9.10 from 9.04.

In Ubuntu 9.10 the tip from www.tombuntu.com to fix the tearing only
works for Compiz not video. I have a video tearing no matter what. If I
apply these tips the video tearing on a horizontal camera or object
move- remains.

In Ubuntu 9.04 I had to only turn on "sync to vblank" and I didn't have
to touch other settings at all. In Ubuntu 9.10 these tips do not work at
all. I tried the drivers 1.85 (included) and 1.9xx. It doesn't help- the
video tearing remains.

This is a havy regression, that for me is a complete showstopper. Just
after 2 years adventure with Ubuntu and its foibles with audio and
Nvidia video drivers. This also means that I'm writing this text under
Win 7 beta. And one more thing: the video quality of Xvid is much better
in Win 7.

I would like to come back to Ubuntu, but I'm just a user, not a reverse
engeneer for graphics or compiz or whatever developer.

PS.
I susspect somethning fishy as MS added a code to the kernel, as well as Intel and Nvidia have sued each other havily recently and Intel was working like crazy on the drivers for Linux (bribing the Nvidia developer or adding sth to the kernel). Plus I will not buy new compueter with AMD/ATi because the linux driver manager has just left after 6 years and they drivers are not there yet.
