You have been subscribed to a public bug: Huge Regression In 9.10 from 9.04.
I tried this: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/09/20/make-compiz-run-smoothly-and-without-tearing/ and still have a video tearings (but no more compiz tearings). So I also tried to turn on "sync to vblank" in Nvidia. Tearing remains. So then I tried the new driver 1.9xx. Still have tearings in any video! So then I disabled composite: File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection and stil no luck. Instead of tearing I have got very weired videos. Something like not enough refresh rate- just like before tearing. Its ugly and I called it "Pre-tearing". Although refresh rate is 59.94 as Nvidia X Server Settings indicates (60 Hz in CSSM). Any Ideas?? Because after 2 years wiht Ubuntu I went back to Windows. Nice videos, better video quality (eg.
