To reduce contrast to 75%, you can use xrandr --output --gamma 0.75:0.75:0.75 Ok, sorry, gamma is not the same as contrast. But gamma can be used to achieve similar shifts of the relation of dark to bright colors, so it might be suitable to get the desired effect here. Greets, Kiste

Hi, perhaps one of the experts can answer this in a few words... SandyBridge can prevent tearing only by using pageflipping. pageflipping on Xorg always flips the whole framebuffer, so it can only be synced to one output device. The vaapi-enabled MPlayer plays nice in fullscreen mode (via vaa

The only workaround is [...] to only use fullscreen DRI video applications (OpenGL or libva decoders) that use SwapBuffers. Yes, works perfectly while only one screen is connected. That means, this definition of "fullscreen" is "the whole framebuffer", and not "the content of one display"?
