(In the absence of driver bugs...) Whether of not it tears depends upon your window manager. On bare X, using mplayer -vo xv or -vo gl, should not tear. Under a compositing window manager, it depends upon how it decides to update the screen. To force everything to update without tearing, use echo > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-intel.conf <<EOF Section "Device" Identifier "igfx" Option "TearFree" EndSection EOF -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
