Screen tearing with iris xe graphics

that looked to fix it… though I’ve thought the same many times, so we’ll see!

Well you can let us know. :wink:

I think I figured it out; I don’t have any tearing at first. If I enable picom and then disable it, only then I get tearing. Very weird…

I think it’s a picom bug, this behavior can’t be reproduced with xcompmgr. Closing this then… for now :wink: :wink:

HAHAHA and now my frustration is beyond limits. It still tears!

So I decided to ditch everything and try all over. I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and no nvidia driver. I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "i915"
    Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

My system does not boot using the above, same if I change it to intel. If I change it to modesetting (as per inxi, loaded: modesetting) then it boots but still tears.

Any ideas?

Change it to what i had before and try. This is what it showed for /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

things like flameshot and simplescreenrecorder are broken.

Btw how are they broken?

Most of the time they work with those drivers, but sometimes they have weird graphical artifacts.

I already did.

you can try the intel driver with this parameter Option "DRI" "2"

no, doesn’t work. i’ll just live w/ a compositor for now…
