Thread: Openbox + NVidia + compositing = tearing.


hey everyone.

on macbook pro 5,5. i'm old ubuntu convert turned sinful ways of os x come pure , awesome world of linux. tried several distros , passing through crunchbang realized openbox manager. result, i've been using openbox on ubuntu (both window manager gnome , on own).

problem i'm having compositing , video tearing.
i'll try make simple possible:

1) gnome + openbox + compositing (xcompmgr, cairo-compmgr) = video tearing.

2) openbox + compositing (xcompmgr, cairo-compmgr) = video tearing.

3) gnome + compiz fusion compositing = video tearing.

4) no compositing (all scenarios) = regular video output.


i've tried instructions here when using compiz fusion , in scenarios sync vblank enabled both on xvideo settings , opengl settings within nvidia x settings panel.

i'm pretty happy keeping compositing off , having video play i'd have nice dock docky. there way me nice dock working under openbox without compositing or sort of compmanager work without having tear on videos? it's not crucial make linux experience quite perfect combination of openbox , sort of dock powerful one.

in advance!

for me, (not on mac though) had install compizconfig settings manager.

under system -> preferences -> compizconfig settings manager -> general options, there tab called display settings. make sure "synch vblank checked , set refresh rate twice actual refresh (e.g. 120 60 hz refresh).
