Tearing and Composite - Page 4

I see this: you sent me two files with description:

This output is WITH the variable set and NO tearing:
-> In this file, the environment has both VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE and __VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE set (i.e. both with/without underscore).

This out is WITHOUT the variable set and HAS tearing:
-> In this file, the environment has NEITHER variable set.

So, this would correspond to commenting out *both* the first two lines of your .profile file. I was hoping for tests with just the second line (with __) commented out or not, and there should be no difference there. The only difference should be if you comment out the first line or not.

If you didn't actually comment out both lines, something is screwing up your environment, and preventing those variables from reaching the MPlayer process, which would explain why it didn't work...

Oh, no... you're right. Sorry, had a retard moment and was commenting out the whole section I'd added, sorry!!! Re-doing it right now.

Stephen, use the same link for the without.txt file

**Stephen Warren** · 04-29-09, 06:14 PM

Huh. That's odd. I certainly have no explanation then!

DrSuSE · 04-29-09, 06:17 PM

Well, truth be told... I guess I am happy. It is working, even if I don't understand it. I'll get over the OCD, heh.

I feel badly, though, would have been better if we knew the solution so we could share/explain for other's sakes.

Thanks for all the time and help along the way, Stephen. If you can think of anything else I might do to investigate, let me know.

FYI, I accidentally found a clip that repro's the problem of entering/leaving full-screen making the display go completely black. I'll try and find out what's up.

The black-screen issue appears to be an MPlayer bug. The change below should fix it. Please let me know, thanks.

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town. Your patch worked for me. I was only experiencing the issue with composite off, so I first turned it off and verified I had a video exhibiting the problem, then patched mplayer and tried and again and it did not happen.

Thanks.
