Comment 24 for bug 151674

Hi,

@mardi
Your right, not long after sending this message (and forgetting I had :-) ) I tried switching Window manager and disabling compisiting etc and I still got the tearing (although it was far less noticable when doing stuff like moving windows). I believe you are right about the refresh rate issue, I have suspected that for a long time and I believe in my search for a solution someone confirmed it. I did a little while ago manage to switch the tearing to my other monitor I think. I can't remember how, I believe instead of using TwinView via xorg.conf, I simply enabled it via nvidia-settings (so had a plain xorg.conf) and the option to select what monitor xv adapter syncs too did its job, so I got tearing on the smaller monitor instead. I shall try checking that when I get home :-).
