For some reason the attached workaround seems to work for some people (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742643&page=4) including me. I do not fancy having the whole screen redrawn on every repaint, but it seems rather interesting that it works.
Also – the solution proposed in comment 41 (https://bugs.launchpad.net /nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/600178/comments/41) seems to indicate that vsync for OpenGL works even though the one for x-server does not. Unfortunately in dual-screen setup it only affects the main screen (DFP-0), while the secondary screen continues to show tearing. --- The mentioned workaround --- Open CompizConfig-settings manager (if you don't find it, just install it from Ubuntu Software Center). Enable Workarounds -> Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint Disable Workarounds -> Don't wait for video sync Open NVIDIA X Server Settings Enable X Server XVideo Settings -> Sync to VBlanck Enable OpenGL Settings -> Sync to VBlank Disable DFP...(name of your screen) -> Force Full Gpu Scaling Open Startup Applications and add a new program: Name: antitearing Command: bash -c "sleep 2; compiz --replace" Reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600178 Title: Screen tearing when dragging window, in videos and other large screen redraws (on nVidia GPU) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/600178/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
