    landeel, i just tried that, rebooted and all was good, then i tried the same avi file 5 mins later and the problems were back...that seems to be the case with everything i try, it works for a while and then its back to tearing ((

    on another note i tried compiz, theres no emerald in the repos so i got the ugly compiz borders whatever they are called, but compiz seems to work and as far as i can tell the tearing is gone. anyone know where to get emerald, or if u can run compiz with kwin decorations? (im a bit confused about what the difference between decorations and compositor is but hey)

    for the record im using the 313 nv drivers now, although 'additional drivers' keep telling me that no proprietary drivers are in use no matter what nvidia drivers i install


    my xrandr:
    Code:
    Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
    DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    DVI-D-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
       1920x1080      60.0*+   30.0  
       1680x1050      60.0  
       1600x900       60.0  
       1440x900       59.9  
       1400x1050      60.0  
       1280x1024      60.0  
       1280x960       60.0  
       1280x800       59.8  
       1280x720       60.0  
       1024x768       60.0  
       800x600        60.3  
       720x480        59.9  
       640x480        59.9  
    DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    edit:i just remembered that i have a displayport cable and both my gfx card and monitor supports it...i guess that wont make a difference but i might try it tomorrow

      What player are you using? Does it have an option to output using VDPAU?

        spadge, im using vlc, however its not just when i watch movies, its whenever something moves on the screen, for example if i scroll a website or move an application around. heres an example stolen from another forum, http://i.imgur.com/K3X5EDi.jpg
        for me it only happens in the upper third of the screen though

          Yeah, I know that it's in everything. I had the same problem last year, works fine now. Although I still have to be really careful with video playback as it's quite the different beast.

          Have you got nouveau blacklisted?

            hmm, how do i find out? and i still dont know why 'additional drivers' claim that no proprietary drivers are in use on this system, ive instlaled/activated nvidia drivers twice

              grep 'nouveau' /etc/modprobe.d/*

              I think an lsmod (as root) should do it too.

                /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-313-updates_hybrid.conf:blacklist nouveau
                /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-313-updates_hybrid.conf:blacklist lbm-nouveau
                /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-313-updates_hybrid.conf:alias nouveau off
                /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-313-updates_hybrid.conf:alias lbm-nouveau off
                /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf:blacklist nouveau
                /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf:blacklist lbm-nouveau

                  I don't think anyone has believed what that little Additional Drivers doohickey has said for *years*.

                  Mine says 313 is activated but not currently in use, and that no proprietary drivers are present. It's lying. Clearly:

                  Code:
                  spadge@Jupiter:~$ grep -i 'nvidia' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

                          Just wanted to say a big thank you - this worked for my wierd screen display of... "scrambled" pop ups
                          You could see them but there were blocks of multi coloured lines/waves
                          To understand true frustration, one must only go so far as to install Linux!!! and then came Kubuntu and the World is at peace again

                            There must be something *VERY* wrong with your video card and/or drivers.

                              so ive been running compiz/emerald for a day or so now. compiz from the repos and compiled emerald as described here http://askubuntu.com/questions/28705...tu-13-04-64bit

                              result: no tearing whatsoever
                              but i cant get shadows under menus...i much prefer kwin i must say. i hope this can be fixed as soon as possible or somebody finds a hack for it

                                Compton

                                I have found the perfect tearing killer. It's Compton.

                                First install it from http://launchpad.net/~richardgv/+archive/compton

                                Create a script like this:

                                Code:
                                #!/bin/bash
                                
                                #turn off composite
                                RESULT=`qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.compositingActive`
                                if [ "$RESULT" = "true" ]
                                then
                                  qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.toggleCompositing
                                  sleep 1s
                                fi
                                
                                #compton is a X compositing window manager (force vsync, no tearing)
                                #http://launchpad.net/~richardgv/+archive/compton
                                #http://github.com/chjj/compton
                                compton --backend glx --vsync opengl-swc&
                                sleep 1s
                                
                                #run your game
                                cd /path/to/your/game
                                ./your_game
                                
                                #restore composite state
                                kwin --replace&
                                Run the game or application using this script and compton will replace kwin while it's running. It will be tearing free.
