how to fix tearing of videos in browsers? SOLVED

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Do you mean that the source of xserver-xorg-video-intel has an example configuration file, or is it already placed somewhere on my hard disk?

I thought that was obvious from the code block in my last post. Read that again and see if you can figure it out

mmmm... hard to guess but from the command below it seems present in the source and not in the package. And you said the package not its source.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-file show xserver-xorg-video-intel | cut -d ":" -f 2 | xargs grep intel | grep 20

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-intel

the grep does not find the code that you quoted...
grep -r | grep intel

Try

Code: Select all

find /usr/share/doc -name xorg.conf

Or

Code: Select all

dpkg -L xserver-xorg-video-intel | grep xorg.conf

The example conf file has nothing about TearFree, but there is a readme and reference to the man intel.
ANyways thanks now it is solved.

Code: Select all

/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
   Identifier "Intel"
   Driver "intel"
#   Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

It ain't solved until you edit the title of your first post in the thread and add [SOLVED]. Is this the first time you've been asked to do this?
