I gave the nice xinelibout hud another try, but have to revert back since 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?
This is usually caused by the gfx driver in question. If you're running on intel gfx hardware, there might be an updated xorg driver that fixes it.
I'm with nVidia 8400 and 180.29 drivers.
Without the manager there is no tearing, so I believe the settings are ok.nvidia-settings -a :1.0/SyncToVBlank=1 &
Play a little bit with this settings: nvidia-settings -a :1.0/AllowFlipping=1 nvidia-settings -a :1.0/XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=1 nvidia-settings -a :1.0/XVideoBlitterSyncToVBlank=0 nvidia-settings -a :1.0/XVideoSyncToDisplay=256 nvidia-settings -a :1.0/SyncToVBlank=1 nvidia-settings -a :1.0/XVideoTextureSyncToVBlank=1 The last two are most promising. Don't forget to use the apropriate Display instead of :1.0
