While the 2 commits do eliminate tearing here with nv50 that was brought back when using xmir/u-s-c, considering the current state of bug fixing it would be good not to create yet another bug in compiz For 13.10 not using u-s-c is probably the best choice for users concerned about tearing & who have none with the current X, mesa, compiz & unity
Also to note that the commits did a decent job of eliminating tearing in gnomeshell/clutter, 100% gone with xmir/u-s-c, not quite 100% with just the commits (no xmir, u-s-c Though Gs users can eliminate tearing completely with a simple env for clutter If those commits are going to be applied it would be useful to provide a testing ppa to see how they do with other nvidia hardware & if they create any further issues other than noted previously with compiz. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195811 Title: nouveau: Abnormally high FPS and tearing (no vsync) on natively mir testing demo-clients. Status in Mir: Triaged Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 13.10 (yesterday) in order to test Xmir and Mir natively (examples-clients). Xmirg worked flawlessly. The only "problem" was the duplicate mouse cursor(s). But I noticed an abnormally high FPS in some clients demo when I tested Mir natively per these instructions http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/using_mir_on_pc.html I recorded the test case using external camera. Apologies for the quality but you will see the values. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zil-lRNlaks I attached an apport.log just for more info if are needed. I'm not a technical guy and I filled this report prompted by @duflu in IRC #ubuntu-mir You can read the mini conversation here. http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/06/28/%23ubuntu-mir.html This test had the same results either if X only was running in VT7 (Video) or Xmir. I hope I helped... in something.
