It should, but vsync problems on modern Linux boxes seem to be a nightmare... What video card driver are you using? AFAIK eg. nVidia has a similar option for its driver which may override an application's request, and driconf also has similar settings. Tearing in videos (xv) is most probably independant from this setting and needs to be configured elsewhere, with video drivers for eg. Intel graphics chips you need to select the correct xv device out of the two which are known by X11 so vsync can be controlled... :-/ Greetings, Gunter ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
