This is the future of window management and some people like (OK, tolerate) GNOME 3 and even Unity, so saying, "Don't use compositing" isn't good enough long term IMO. On my Ion 2-based nettop I can watch video in GNOME 3 OK, but I'm not sure vsync works with it OK on my NVidia 8200-based HTPC. I don't mind using xfce4 on that for now, because I don't use it for much else. But I've got two other machines with Intel graphics on which I'd rather use GNOME 3 than xfce4 and still be able to watch video without tearing, and I haven't managed that so far :-(. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
