            Bug ID: 499366
           Summary: Set QSG_NO_VSINK=1 or
                    QSG_USE_SIMPLE_ANIMATION_DRIVER=1 to avoid jerking in
                    some effects
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: effects-various
          Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: guido.iod...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Ever since switching to QSG for many effects I have noticed that they would
occasionally have microshakes, more like a loss of a few frames. Experimenting
I found that setting QSG_NO_VSINK=1 solved the problem. Not only that, it seems
that this was also related to another problem: when I brought the mouse to the
corner of the screen, where I had set the Overview effect, it would start and
come back quickly. 

Now it no longer does this. I don't think it is advisable to set QSG_NO_VSINK=1
for the whole environment, my suggestion is to do this only for Kwin within the
code. Another approach could be QSG_USE_SIMPLE_ANIMATION_DRIVER=1 which seems
to achieve the same result and seems to be preferred in this guide:
