[Bug 880707] Re: [regression] Visible tearing is worse in 11.10 than 11.04, even when "Sync To VBlank" is enabled, but only when Unity is active.

 

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.
