Public bug reported: Ubuntu release: 14.04 Installed compiz version: 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1
The option 'unredirect fullscreen windows', which is enabled by default in Compiz, causes tearing in games and other fullscreen OpenGL applications, even with 'sync to vblank' options enabled in ccsm, in the GPU settings and in the game. With this option disabled, VSync works as fine as should with 'unredirected fullscreen windows' enabled and there is no tearing (but this causes performance issues and the Unity panel shadow on top of the application). Tested with: - ASUS NVIDIA GTX 650-E-1GD5 with NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 (tested) (nvidia-331) - the same graphics card with NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 (nvidia-331-updates) - the same graphics card with Nouveau open source driver (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau) - Intel HD 4000 iGPU with default open source drivers ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: compiz tearing vblank vsync -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307144 Title: 'unredirect fullscreen windows' causes tearing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1307144/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
