I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 using SNA. Tear is still present on video playback (mainly with VLC) with compositor enabled or disabled. (va-api enabled/disabled no changes as well)
this is my xorg.conf video options: Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false" Option "TearFree" "true" Just want to add that TearFree option is not working as this command shows: :~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep free [ 5336.772] (**) intel(0): "Tear free" disabled -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755841 Title: [sandybridge] Graphics tearing when playing video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/755841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
