** Changed in: ubutter
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Summary changed:
- vsync should be enabled by default for nouveau
+ vsync is disabled by default in nouveau
** Description changed:
+ Sync-to-vblank support is disabled by default in the nouveau driver.
+ This makes the desktop tear badly, and look ugly, on nvidia systems.
+
+ It's also inconsistent, as radeon and intel both have sync-to-vblank
+ enabled by default.
+
+ WORKAROUND:
+ /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
+
+ Section "Device"
+ Identifier "My Graphics"
+ Option "GLXVBlank" "on"
+ EndSection
+
+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Quite simply because otherwise performance in the default unity/compiz
session is awful. There is very visible tearing when moving windows, switching
workspaces ect, ect.
Can't see why you'd leave it up to the users to enable thru xorg.conf
