In my testing its been very stable too. Using it with: compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --glx-no-stencil --vsync opengl-swc successfully completely removes tearing for me on both my intel machines (including in fullscreen video and with multiple displays), and performs better than using the TearFree xorg option :)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
