Moved to Mint 17 (xfce4). Still, the Nvidia driver is not perfect on my ASUS V3-771G (GeForce GT 650M), but works great with my main workstation using Nvidia GTX770.
I'm not using Nvidia on my laptop but the primary Intel GPU. Lost my hopes Ubuntu will ever fix this long lasting problems with Nvidia drivers... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307144 Title: 'unredirect fullscreen windows' causes tearing Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1307144/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
