How to enable Vsync?












2















Ok.



So I'm trying out Linux today and noticed some tearing on my desktop. You know, like playing a PC game and Vsync isn't enabled.



This problem is most prominent when I'm scrolling down my browser.



Is there a fix?



('m using the latest version of Ubuntu, with all the updates downloaded)

I think you have a Nvidia graphics card.
You need install driver for it.



(I had a bad experience in the installation from repositories. Best way is install manually or using sgfxi)

  • This is a question from 2012 and Popadil hasn't returned to provide more information. That's why you can't assume he indeed owns a nvidia graphics card. Explaining anything that is graphics-card specific is thus waste of efforts I guess.
