PostPosted: Thu Mar 30, 2006 3:15 am    Post subject: Horrible tearing in mplayer on Dell 2405fpw - please help Reply with quote

I've tried everything that I can find on various forums to fix this problem, but I cannot figure this out. I would really like to run gentoo on my desktop (already have it on my server and laptop) but this is a deal breaker for me as I watch lots of TV shows and movies on my desktop.

I am running the 2405fpw on DVI and a dell P1110 using twin view. I have tried the following modes all with hsnc and vsync on and off.

Code:

Modeline "1920x1200" 193 1920 2048 2256 2592 1200 1201 1204 1242 +hsync -vsync

Modeline "1920x1200" 161.75 1920 2020 2052 2184 1200 1202 1208 1235 -hsync -vsync

Modeline "1920x1200"  154.128 1920 1968 2000 2080  1200 1203 1209 1235 +hsync +vsync

I have tried using xv, x11, gl, and gl2 drivers with all the different settings in mplayer.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Please help me so I don't have to go back to using Windows XP :cry:

Here is my full Xorg.conf

This makes sure that vsync is on for me, in games, and is worth a try:
Code:
emerge =nvclock-0.8b
nvclock -a vsync=1

Here is a Xine bug report about tearing when using two displays.

This bug report suggest that if you can set both monitors to the same vertical refresh rate then the problem might go away.
