Comment 80 for bug 600178

Actually it's even worse on my end. Tearing does not go away on nouveau's drivers no matter what I do. Even with compositing completely disabled, opengl video output still tears. The best I can do is enable opengl compositing with compton or something similiar and enable sync to Vblank, but there's still tearing at the top of any fullscreen video even with opengl video output. I'm on Arch with a Nvidia GTX 650. The tearing issue does not happen in the proprietary drivers either. I hope this issue gets more attention as the proprietary drivers have some other problems of their own for me.
