[Bug 600178] Re: Screen tearing when dragging window, in videos and other large screen redraws (on nVidia GPU)

 

Sorry can you say a little more about how you managed to get rid of the
tearing?  I don't see a "vsync" option in cccm.  Do you mean "sync to
vblank" (in OpenGL) or maybe "Don't wait for video sync" in
"Workarounds"?   I also don't see a vsync in the nvidia panel (only a
"sync to vblank") either.  Also do I need to restart compiz or X for
this to work or should it work immediately?

Do you only get this problem if you've run videos for a while or while
running videos?  I ran some videos but the problem appeared much later
and the tearing happens when moving any windows.  Now when I try to run
videos its very choppy.  I'm running the natty with a Gtx 560 and the
270.41.06 nvidia driver.  Actually its not just dragging windows its
most graphical interactions -- even drop down menus and typing in a
terminal is slow.  And this has nothing to do with system load as the
system is mostly idle with lots of unused ram.
