Public bug reported: In the (very well-made) article "Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) Pragmatic Visual Presentation Critique", it is stated that compiz' effects lack smoothness at times (using an nvidia card). A commenter proposed the following workaround, which seemed to work for them (cite):
"The solution: go to General Options in the CompizConfig Settings Manager. Under the Display Settings tab, uncheck “Detect refresh rate”, set the “Refresh rate” slider as far as it will go (to 200), and check “Sync to VBlank”." If this helps (it showed no difference with my machine, but I'm using an ATI card) and causes no regression for other cards, it should be the default settings for future ubuntu releases (and maybe also backported to 7.10). ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Refresh rate settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157015 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
