On my pretty much "out of the box" Ubuntu 9.10 I ran into something a little funny and was wondering what you all are doing about it.
I love to watch full HD movies on my machine and vertical synchronizing (v-sync) have been on for standard always or else you can clearly see the picture is being split up whenever the movie pans to the left or the right.
Now, I only used Ubuntu for six month but I am well-aware of how Linux and the open source community works and I am very VERY happy for this, in fact, I can't imagine a world without Linux, Ubuntu and open source. What I mean to say here is that to my best knowledge v-sync can't be activated when compiz or any other desktop effects are on, and therefore you have to choose between v-sync and effects. Please note my comment about best knowledge, should I be wrong about this in some way, I would be a happy man and a sorry man. Happy for being able to use v-sync and compiz together, sorry for starting this thread.
The point in all of this is actually simple, I was wondering how you all work around this.
Do you leave v-sync (de)activated?
Do you even care this ain't working (or don't you know)?
Don't you use Ubuntu (or your machine) for movies?
Or something fourth maybe?
