Bug Description

I have two HD5870s in CrossfireX, with the drivers recommended by Ubuntu.

I am getting extremely bad tearing in GNOME when I drag something across the screen even when the effects are turned off. I have tried using compiz config-settings-manager to change the settings but it didn't remove the problem (only made it different). Enabling v-sync in the ATI control panel also has no effect, nor does disabling CrossfireX.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64.

When you say "effects off" do you mean running metacity instead of compiz?

In compiz I have tried changing the settings such as the frequency slider and Sync to vblank but they make no difference.

In the effects off I mean in System > Preferences > Appearance. I tried all 3, they all have some degree of tearing with "Extra" being the worst.

Alright, if it happens with effects set to None that means it happens without compiz running. Moving this bug to the fglrx driver.
