Hi generix I have uploaded the .gz file as attachment.
You installed the driver without opengl
nvidia-installer command line:
./nvidia-installer
-no-opengl-files
-no-opengl-files
Without glx, there’s no vsync so anything will tear.
Furthermore, you should use the --dkms option for the driver to survive kernel updates.
Thanks generix, problem solved.
