Looks like I've got a compiz fix for this bug after all. It seems to eliminate all tearing when playing HD video on sandybridge under compiz/unity at least. Still testing the fix, but it looks good so far.
Stay tuned for more news soon. ** Also affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) ** Also affects: compiz-core Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: compiz-core Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: compiz-core Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in 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 _______________________________________________ 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
