[solved] redraw issue : optimus, nvidia, xorg, awesome wm

Hello everyone,

I have a redraw issue after solving tearing with the ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On option proposed by the wiki for nvidia. Any suggestion ?

To illustrate my problem : when I switch between tags (workspaces), the taskbar doesn't update. However, as soon as I move rapidly the mouse over it, one of the buffer partially update. I have to move the mouse many time to update both buffer. Strangely, the problem is not present when I switch to an empty tag.

    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "Yes"
    Option  "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
