I gave the nice xinelibout hud another try, but have to revert back

running composite manager creates tearing while watching movies. I've tries with xcompmgr with -n option.
Does anybody know how to fix that? Or maybe there is another lightweight composite manager available?
Without xcompmgr running there is no tearing at all.
This is a known limitation of (at least) the NVidia drivers. Quoting the NVidia README:

The Composite extension also causes problems with other driver components:
[...]
On X.Org 7.1 and higher, the driver will properly redirect video into offscreen pixmaps. Note that the Xv adaptors will ignore the sync-to-vblank option when drawing into a redirected window.--snip--
Thanks for the info. How can I check the X.Org version I have? I've looked on xorg modules in yumex and see some of them are 7.3.5, 7.3.9, 7.4
Ok, found it, but it doesn't look like the right numbers.
