Dear all,
Can anyone tell me why and how to fix the fact that if I play a video in Xubuntu, there is significant screen-tearing when playing an hd video in vlc, not found when I play the same video in a ubuntu session? (Same computer, I just installed both desktops).
I noticed this in the past when I had just a xubuntu install, but thought that it was just me, but now I have both desktops on the same machine I have 'proven' it to myself. The same settings are set in vlc media player with GPU acceleration on.
I have already tried turning off/on xfconf with no success: suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1926343
TBH i dont like altering settings which I don't know what they do.
