Title:
Default Xv output is tearing without compositing
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
This is to record the fact that the default Xv output on Intel and
fglrx [add if more such drivers] is tearing, if no compositing is
used. The open radeon driver is tear-free.
Compositing would be disabled with the help of the new unredirect
fullscreen windows feature in Compiz to improve performance, but is
currently not for various video players because of this bug.
On older Intel hardware, setting the default of XvPreferOverlay to
true in xorg.conf should fix the issue, but it does not help with
newer hardware like Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge.
On fglrx, the enabling the "tear free" setting does fix tearing in
fullscreen videos, the vsync option alone does not.
