You might also have to create the folder.

Open the file ~/.mplayer/config or create it if you don't have it.

Set up MPlayer (I have tried gnome-mplayer, too, but it doesn't have the same result as hard as I tried)

Packages: mplayer libvdpau1 vdpau-va-driver.

#Nvidia power mizer manager software install#

Install mplayer and vdpau (NOT mplayer2!!! This is new and experimental and, for me at least, was laggy with VDPAU)

Under Display Configuration set your resolution manually, then set your refresh rate from Auto to your current refresh rate.

Set Image Settings to High Quality under OpenGL settings.Enable Sync to VBlank under both XVideo and OpenGL settings.Panel Opacity - 1.0000, same for Launcher Opacity. Unity Plugin: (not sure if this helped any, but it allegedly improves speed).I turned 'Copy to Texture' on, not sure if that helped or not.Under Composite turn off Detect Refresh Rate and enter your monitor's current one manually.It doesn't work with any of the other players. The trick for me was to use barebones MPlayer (but not MPlayer2!). I am aware that your mileage may vary since the cards are different, but you can try it out. Here is how I solved vsync issues for video on my ASUS K50IN notebook with the NVIDIA GeForce G102M. I have set this permanently in /etc/environment - just add something like this on a new line: Look for the line 'Connected display device(s):' in your X log file for a list of the display devices present and their names. You should set this environment variable to the name of a display device for example 'CRT-1'. You can use the environment variable _GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE to specify to which display device OpenGL should sync. When using _GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK with TwinView, OpenGL can only sync to one of the display devices this may cause tearing corruption on the display device to which OpenGL is not syncing.

In case the nvidia driver is syncing to the wrong display (for example, syncing to the built in display when you want to watch a movie on the external TV) you can override it's choice. This is effectively impossible unless both monitors are the exact same type. If you are using dual monitors, the nvidia driver can only sync to the vblank of one of the displays unless they use exactly the same refresh rate. I don't understand why it's not working for me. As I understand it, this is precisely designed to stop tearing, and a lot of people's problem is even getting something like glxgears to output the correct info. The framerate should beĪpproximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.Īnd when I check the refresh rate using nvidia-settings: $ nvidia-settings -q RefreshRateĪttribute 'RefreshRate' (wampum:0.0 display device: DFP-2): 60.00 Hz.Īll this suggests sync to VBlank is enabled. Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. This seems to work, because when I run glxgears, I get: $ glxgears To enable this, I set the option in nvidia-settings and then autostart it as nvidia-settings -l with my other autostart programs. I also have this problem in Xfce, where I have compositing disabled.Įnabling sync to VBlank. But I use an extremely lightweight window manager (Awesome window manager) which is not even capable of compositing (or any cool effects).

Turn off compositing, since Nvidia proprietary drivers don't usually play nice with compositing window managers on Linux (Compiz is an exception I'm aware of). There are two common fixes for tearing with Nvidia prop drivers:

Hardware: MacBook Air 3,2 - which has an Nvidia GeForce 320M. The best result has been to use X11 output in VLC, but there is still tearing with relatively moderate action. I've tried Totem, Parole, and VLC, and tearing occurs with all of them.

(Note: switching back to the default nouveau driver is not an option, as its seemingly nonexistent power-management drains my battery several times faster) Video tearing: fine horizontal lines (usually near the top of my display) when there is a lot of panning or action in the video. I have that problem which seemingly afflicts many using the proprietary Nvidia driver:
