Re: [SOLVED] vsync tearing issues in xfce4

I know where the option is. But it isn't stored. When I choose 'sync to vblank', close xfwm4-tweaks-settings and open it again, the setting is off like before.

From https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8898 :

Bugs:
  - The setting in the window manager tweaks gui doesn't work, I don't know why. For now the sync to vblank setting can be enabled with:
  xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p "/general/sync_to_vblank" -s true
  And then restart xfwm.

Re: [SOLVED] vsync tearing issues in xfce4

I actually switched to 'compton --vsync opengl' for desktop use, for movies or video I switch to the other variant.
It was just a bit too much annoying (the delay).

Re: [SOLVED] vsync tearing issues in xfce4

delay didn't seem that bad to me, wasn't any worse than gnome-shell with the CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling workaround
