Just as an update from the past post. Unfortunately, all my attempts for fixing this properly have failed so far, the hardware does not wants to collaborate with the software for inter-ring synchronization.
So the workaround I used previously still applies - I need to disable compositing and use either vaapi or gl rendering, which perform vsync'ed screen updates. This way, I see no tearing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755841 Title: [sandybridge] Graphics tearing when playing video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/755841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
