Hi,
I just installed ubuntu 14.04 beta and it introduced serious tearing its always in the same place around 1/4 from top and seams to be lagging behind one or 2 frames. Like its taken from the wrong buffer(dubble buffered?).
It works OK in both VLC and mplayer with vdpau.
Here is some info:
Ubuntu 14.04 Beta 1
Xbmc 13.0-beta2 a1cab7a
Nvidia-331-49
Nvidia ION graphic
/T

Use the forum search and disable backing store.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

xbmc uses OpenGL and here SDL picks up the backing store automatically. Not an issue for non SDL/OpenGL applications.

Should the 'tearing problems on linux?' sticky post be updated with the backingstore info? I think I see these posts pop up more & more with the newest x server shipping w/ 14.04, and likely we'll keep seeing it.

Hi everyone,
I cant seem to get rid of this problem.
I tried adding -bs to the lightdm.conf.d and using the path in rodalpho's post.
I'm running Gotham 13.0, Ubuntu 14.04, and I have the latest nVidia drivers. This problem seemed to come after my last Ubuntu update.

Nevermind, I think I fixed the problem. I was using the Aeon skin and it doesnt show a lot of the settings for video playback. I loaded up Confluence and checked the "match frame rate to tv" setting. That seemed to fix the problem for now.
