Public bug reported: XFWM4 "Display fullscreen overlay windows directly" option is not working in all fullscreen apps.
>From my experience all sdl 1.2 apps work correctly, and there's no performance problems or tearing problems with vsync. I'm on Steam linux beta, and I have been testing all available steam games, and I have found that Team Fortress 2, Serious Sam 3 and Trine 2 for ex., the compositor is not suspended which is visible because there is tearing even with vsync. Video players for ex. also won't work properly with xfwm4 compositor in fullscreen, because there is also tearing. Youtube videos on fullscreen also have tearing if the compositor is not disabled. ** Affects: xfwm4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087242 Title: XFWM4 not disabling the compositor effects on some fullscreen apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1087242/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
