I done this which reduced the problem for me: NVidia drivers PPA, and upgrade:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia- settings (I tried Additional Drivers: "post-release updates" didn't work for me) Added following PPA and upgrade: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:vanvugt/compiz sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Or add via a source manager: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/vanvugt/compiz/ubuntu oneiric main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/vanvugt/compiz/ubuntu oneiric main then update and upgrade compiz, the source is found here: https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/compiz Install Compiz-Setting-Manager: (this is found in the Ubuntu software centre) Open and navigate to Composite setting: DETECT REFRESH RATE: (UNTICK) REFRESH RATE: (MAX) Open and navigate to Mouse Position Polling setting: MOUSE POLL POSITION: (1). Navigate to Snapping Windows setting: SNAPPING WINDOWS: (UNTICK) Navigate to MOVE WINDOW: OPACITY: 30 LAZY POSITIONING: (UNTICK) Configuring The Right Driver The next thing to do is to make sure that your machine uses the correct driver. To ensure that, we are going to blacklist the nouveau driver first. Open a terminal and enter the following to do so: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf At the end of the document, add this line: [...] blacklist nouveau Afterwards update your initial ram file system by entering this into a terminal: sudo update-initramfs -u -v Then check: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf Find the Device section and make sure the driver is set to "nvidia". It should look somewhat like this: [...] Section "Device" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Default Device" Option "NoLogo" "True" EndSection [...] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798868 Title: unity video tearing when moving windows in oneiric with nvidia-current To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/798868/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
