[Bug 600178] Re: Screen tearing when dragging window, in videos and other large screen redraws (on nVidia GPU)

[Geert Jan Alsem]

Same for me. It just seems that X.org in combination with any kind of
hardware acceleration and/or compositing will result in vsync problems,
at least on NVIDIA hardware.

I've been testing 11.10 with Unity, GNOME Shell and Xfce (with
compositing effects enabled), with different NVIDIA/X.org settings, but
I can never get rid of tearing. GNOME Shell does a pretty good job
actually, vsync is almost perfect, but there is still a little tearing
visible, for example when watching the test video in comment #38.

Here's hoping that Wayland will be the vsync miracle people are saying
it will be...
