 |
|
Hi,
I have an onboard via unichrome video card (K8M800 chipset). I did the hardware accel. & opengl setup and it's working fine (~800 fps in glxgears). However I experience severe tearing in full-screen opengl applications. Many applications don't have any way to trigger vsync setting, so I need to activate it in driver, which I didn't succeed. Tearing continues after modifying config files, and glxgears FPS stays the same (i.e. setting is ineffective). Here are the relevant config/diagnostic data:
xorg.conf
| Code: |
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the font modules
# Load "type1"
# Load "speedo"
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
Load "dri"
EndSection

HorizSync 30-70
# HorizSync 30-64 # multisync

And putting "unichrome" in place of via doesn't help either
