[Bug 151674] Re: compiz+nvidia: tearing in xvideo (totem/mplayer/VLC/XINE)

[mardi]

@adam
Sorry mate, been away for the past months (summer vacation here in Aussieland).
I did try the old switcheroo with the video cables... no joy. It actually got
weirder, so to those who want to try that... dont do it.

I gave up on this issue a while back. Am using 2 copies of "xorg.conf", one for
dual monitors and one for single. I overwrite the main file manually everytime
I need to, then restart X. Its stupid but it works :D

Besides, a friend showed me how to use VLC media player in WinXP to watch all
my DVDs and vids. Never looked back :D


@PsYcHoK9
Glad it worked out for ya. Had a few questions from the Ubuntu forums and will
direct them to your posts. It seems that several people still have this problem,
so I dont think the bug is gone. (e.g, karlottofritz)

I think its a difficult bug to squash. Look at the layers of sub-systems
involved (e.g., is it X11, or is it the Nvidia drivers, or is it Compiz?).
Plus there are so many different monitor configurations and so many purported
work-arounds and fixes that claim to work. If I was the bug-squasher, I'd
rather poke my eyes out with dirty toothbrushes then fix it. :D

Its obviously not a high priority for the team(s) anyways. It should,
considering people like to hook up their laptops with secondary monitors, but
hey... what can you do aye? *shrugs*
