>Screen tearing with X If it works for you keep using it. Just in case anyone else has this problem then compton (https://github.com/chjj/compton), a lightweight compositor, works pretty well. I've been using it for years now and I've forgot about tearing ever existing, only to be reminded by threads like this.
compton -c -r8 -l-12 -t-8 -G -f -D30 -I0.45 -O0.45 --paint-on-overlay --unredir-if-possible --backend glx --glx-no-stencil --glx-no-rebind-pixmap This is what I start it up with, it's been so long I've forgotten what half of these mean.
