I think it's clear that nouveau at a kernel-level has problems which will cause tearing. So it would be a misdirection of effort to continue trying to fix various compositors while it's still failing to sync to vblank in the kernel.
To avoid confusing ourselves, we should probably wait until the kernel side is fixed. And then see what else might need work after that... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195811 Title: nouveau: Abnormally high FPS and tearing (no vsync) on natively mir testing demo-clients. Status in Mir: Triaged Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 13.10 (yesterday) in order to test Xmir and Mir natively (examples-clients). Xmirg worked flawlessly. The only "problem" was the duplicate mouse cursor(s). But I noticed an abnormally high FPS in some clients demo when I tested Mir natively per these instructions http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/using_mir_on_pc.html I recorded the test case using external camera. Apologies for the quality but you will see the values. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zil-lRNlaks I attached an apport.log just for more info if are needed. I'm not a technical guy and I filled this report prompted by @duflu in IRC #ubuntu-mir You can read the mini conversation here. http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/06/28/%23ubuntu-mir.html This test had the same results either if X only was running in VT7 (Video) or Xmir. I hope I helped... in something.
