Screen Capture issue (OBS, Peek, Simple Screen Recorder or other screen capture tool)

Hi! I recently encounter an issue inside endeavourOS or maybe is just in my machine. The probem is that whenever I star to record my screen with OBS or Simple Screen Recorded the output is tearing like crazy. I try to fix this out but I just break my plasma desktop.

I tried to enable the “tearfree” option in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file like so:

Section "Device"
	Identifier "Intel Graphics"
	Driver "Intel"
	Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
	Option "TearFree" "True"
EndSection

Also I tried to change the option “sna” to “uxa” but it didn’t help. Even I tried to disabled virtual synchronization creating a file ~.drirc

<device screen="0" driver="dri2">
	<application name="Default">
		<option name="vblank_mode" value="0"/>
	</application>
</device>

Here are my specs. Thanks in advance to anyoine who can help with this.

Remove xf86-video-intel and try the built in modesetting driver.

Thanks for your help. So I just need to uninstall with pacman sudo pacman -R xf86-video-intel? And then, how can I install and configure the modessetting driver?

That will do it, shouldn’t need any config, but:

https://man.archlinux.org/man/modesetting.4

Has all the details.

Thanks a lot. I will read and tried that :smiley:
