Re: [vdr] xinelibout --hud + xcompmgr = tearing

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?

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.
