Peppermint 9 Screen Tearing Problem Solving (Intel Graphics)

Описание

In this video we will take a look at solving screen tearing issues in Peppermint 9, it's a simple case of disabling desktop effects, creating a file and copying the information from the show notes below into the created file (compton.conf) there is extra video 2nd part, which covers some problem solving in the event, for some unknown reason things didn't go as expected, it's effectively a back up plan.

Best used: without installing proprietary videos drivers or with onboard graphics drivers (no video card installed using CPU graphics)

Extra video 2nd part - 14:00

compton.conf (file) should be created in /home/username/.config/compton.conf

Replace the word (username) with your username. to find your username open a terminal, the name before the @ symbol is your username.

Copy text in between the dotted lines and paste into compton.conf file

# These are important. The first one enables the opengl backend. The last one is the vsync method. Depending on the driver you might need to use a different method.
# The other options are smaller performance tweaks that work well in most cases.
# You can find the rest of the options here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/perf-guide, and here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/vsync-guide

# The shadow exclude options are helpful if you have shadows enabled. Due to the way compton draws its shadows, certain applications will have visual glitches
# (most applications are fine, only apps that do weird things with xshapes or argb are affected).
# This list includes all the affected apps I found in my testing. The "! name~=''" part excludes shadows on any "Unknown" windows, this prevents a visual glitch with the XFWM alt tab switcher.

# Fading
fading = true; # Fade windows during opacity changes.
fade-delta = 4; # The time between steps in a fade in milliseconds. (default 10).
fade-in-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading in. (default 0.028).
fade-out-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading out. (default 0.03).
#no-fading-openclose = true; # Fade windows in/out when opening/closing

detect-client-opacity = true; # This prevents opacity being ignored for some apps. For example without this enabled my xfce4-notifyd is 100% opacity no matter what.

# Window type settings

tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; };
