After 3 days of Google search with no luck, Maybe one of you could fix my issue.
Got ArchLinux 64, Xfce + Compiz on both laptop (GTX 680) and laptop (GT 555M).
Nothing to say, no bugs with 319.49 on the laptop : everything runs smoothly, NO TEARING AT ALL.
But on my desktop, I can’t get rid of tearing that is located at the top of the screen. Ive tried 304 319 325 331 drivers, nothing changes. I’ve tried with another monitor, same tearing at the top of the screen. I’ve tried diffrent nvidia-settings stuffs, no way…
Both desktop and laptop run linux 3.10.19
Now, I just don’t know what to do… Please help me
Feel free to ask whatever you need to fix the issue
I’m at work for now and will try the workaround this week end (tomorrow).
As far as I understodd (but I read quickly) it’s due to Kepler architecture ?
What’s weird is that after login, if I open xfce4-terminal and start moving it (with compiz fusion), I have NO TEARING at all, even if I don’t stop moving it during 5 minutes. Let’s say, I move it during 5 minutes : no tearing, I’m happy ;) . It stop. I wait for 1 second. I move it again and then… that’ horrible huge tearing is there.
It seems to be cyclic as regards videos (vlc vdpau), it can play 1 minute without wny tearing, then teaing for 1 minutes, then no, etc…
nadstaky,
Please provide nvidia bug report, reproduction steps in detail, what desktop env you are using? Is this issue repro when composite disabled and desktop effects disabled ? What video player you are using ? Are you observing desktop tearing OR video tearing ? Is it possible to share repro issue video recording? Also share video clip on which you are observing tearing? Make sure nouveau and vesafb drivers are disabled.
