nvidia and tearing.. AGAIN

Rasi · 2011-09-06 20:31:22

well.. i had a perfectly working nvidia setup, without any tearing.
Then I decided to switch it with my ati card, to see how far the radeon driver has gone.
Well, it didnt work too well, so i switched back with my nvidia again.
Same driver, same config, but now i have tearing - even with vdpau!

Here my xorg.conf:

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings:  version 275.19  (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-07.nvidia.com)  Tue Jul 12 18:35:26 PDT 2011

Have you tried without an xorg.conf? No guarantee it'll help, but most of yours is outdated and does nothing, might as well try without.

Its not oudated its done on purpose, because evdev does not detect my joypad correctly
and as i said, in theory my config cannot be the culprit, because the very same config worked yesterday

I tried it anyway just now.. and tearing remains.

Little update. explicitly disabling composite extension in xorg.conf helps. but then i cant use gnome-shell anymore. Question remains, why this worked before without any issues

Rasi: You broke your card?

Ps. Is vsync enabled?
