Its a HUGE regression in 9.10 from 9.04. In Ubuntu 9.10 the tip from www.tombuntu.com to fix the tearing only works for Compiz not video. I have a video tearing no matter what. If I apply these tips the video tearing on a horizontal camera or object move- remains.
In Ubuntu 9.04 I had to only turn on "sync to vblank" and I didn't have to touch other settings at all. In Ubuntu 9.10 these tips do not work at all. I tried the drivers 1.85 (included) and 1.9xx. It doesn't help- the video tearing remains. This is a havy regression, that for me is a complete showstopper. Just after 2 years adventure with Ubuntu and its foibles with audio and Nvidia video drivers. This also means that I'm writing this text under Win 7 beta. And one more thing: the video quality of Xvid is much better in Win 7. I would like to come back to Ubuntu, but I'm just a user, not a reverse engeneer for graphics or compiz or whatever developer. PS. I susspect somethning fishy as MS added a code to the kernel, as well as Intel and Nvidia have sued each other havily recently and Intel was working like crazy on the drivers for Linux (bribing the Nvidia developer or adding sth to the kernel). Plus I will not buy new compueter with AMD/ATi because the linux driver manager has just left after 6 years and they drivers are not there yet. -- Compiz Fusion has tearing even with Sync to VBlank with nVidia cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447563 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
