Tear-free video with compositing using VDPAU possible?

thecapsaicinkid · 11-14-12, 12:24 PM

I have a G210 and have always had to disable compositing to get tear-free playback with VDPAU on whatever distro I was running. Is it possible to use compositing and still get perfect playback?

Hi, you can set this environment variable, ajust to the display you want play the video on:

export VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=DFP-1

With kwin it is tear free if you enable vsync in kwin and NOT in gl options in nvidia-settings.

Isn't this only applicable to dual screen/twinview?
