screen tearing with nvidia/intel
hello i am experiencing some screen tearing when using both nvidia and intel, is it possible for me to fix this? I have had this problem before and i solved it by switching modesetting driver to intel driver and adding some options to xorg conf file, but i dont know how to do this now that i am using your method.
the default config for intel mode uses the xf86-video-intel driver and the default config already includes the "TearFree" option line. check to make sure you have xf86-video-intel
installed.
as for tearing in nvidia mode, check the output of xrandr --prop
and under you laptop display (usually eDP-1-1) you should see "PRIME Synchronization: 1" meaning it's enabled, if it shows a 0 instead then thats why you have tearing.
if it's " 0 ", what kernel and drivers are installed?
inxi -Fxxxza --no-host
mhwd -li
the xf86-video-intel
driver is installed.
PRIME sync is set to 1.
kernel version is: 5.4.22-1-MANJARO x86_64 drivers: video-nvidia-440xx
*you can check my output files in my graphics
repo.
