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

[eZFlow]

All my tearing issues on nvidia are fixed when enabling "force full screen
redraws on repaint" in workarounds section of compizconfig. No need to
disable composite. Ubuntu should have some smart hardware detection and
apply the right tweaks automagically.
