[Bug 484995] [NEW] video tearing in nvidia and slow video refresh regardless of composite and settings

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Huge Regression In 9.10 from 9.04.

I tried this:
http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/09/20/make-compiz-run-smoothly-and-without-tearing/

and still have a video tearings (but no more compiz tearings). So I also
tried to turn on "sync to vblank" in Nvidia. Tearing remains.

So then I tried the new driver 1.9xx. Still have tearings in  any video!

So then I disabled composite:

File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Extensions"
        Option  "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

and stil no luck. Instead of tearing I have got very weired videos.
Something like not enough refresh rate- just like before tearing. Its
ugly and I called it "Pre-tearing". Although refresh rate is 59.94 as
Nvidia X Server Settings indicates (60 Hz in CSSM).

Any Ideas?? Because after 2 years wiht Ubuntu I went back to Windows.
Nice videos, better video quality (eg. Xvid)
