Modesetting provides vsync and avoids tearing in all cases except in some edge cases:
* Multi-monitor * Xrandr scaling * Other broken packages like this bug But those are just bugs. One of them is fixed here and the rest should be fixed eventually in: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/merge_requests/24 You can call it "TearFree" if you like, but one of the reasons modesetting doesn't contain an option by that name is that it aims to never tear. So an option by the name "TearFree" isn't required. If it does tear then that's just a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libxpresent in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1801071 Title: XPresentPixmap() BadWindow, recompiling fixes it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxpresent/+bug/1801071/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
