Unable to fix Nvidia 2060 screen tearing

#1 Post by mrme01 »

Hi all,

I am running Debian 11 (Bullseye), displays are attached with MST (daisy-chained) over DP, mismatched resolutions, one landscape @ 2560 *1440 (main) and a portrait @ 1080*1920 (secondary). Nvidia drivers are version 470.141.03 as reported by the X server settings tool.

I have tried enabling the force full composition pipeline using this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYWer86A20s

A DDG search yielded this,

Code: Select all

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
This fixes it, but disables my second (portrait) display.

My current xorg.conf looks like this,

Code: Select all

I'm not sure how I should proceed with this, as in, how do I get the above 'command' and merge it into my config, have my second display work and not suffer from screen tearing. Any pointers?

/usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-<version>/html/index.html

It has always been puzzling me why people seek computer help on Youtube. How can this be better than documentation written by developers.

Have you ever heard that assumptions make an ass out of you?

I didn't specifically search YouTube for the video, DDG returned a link to in when I searched for the problem.
I had no idea there was documentation included with the packages, and not everyone is like you, to go hunting around it the documentation.

Then there's the issue that it's old!

Code: Select all

usr/share/doc/nvidia-driver/html/index.html
Has a date of 2013

So thank you, Segfault for your completely useless comment. This is exactly why newbies get turned off by the community. Instead of helping, you just dismiss with a pointless and holier than thou, my faeces don't stink answer.

FYI, I seemed to have fixed it, not that you were of any help.

Nope, every newbie is told to do their homework, search for documentation, read up, before coming to forums where volunteers can help them to advance in case they get stuck. How much did you pay for membership of this forum? What gives you right to come here and demand someone to work for you? Don't answer that. I'm sure you cannot comprehend the idea behind this question, therefore trying to answer it may damage your thinking ability even further.

LOL, only people I have respect for can insult me. :D Barking dog cannot insult the passing train.

The version of document in your computer matches the driver installed, in my computer it is /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-515.65.01/html/index.html, if your driver is from 2013 then you have correct documentation for your driver. Having the manual for older or newer version would not be as useful. In case you wish to see the manual for other versions please visit nVidia website, they have all of them for you to choose.

Tone down the personal aspersions please. You get more bees with honey than with vinegar.

Please share your solution here. This is not a help desk, it is a community resource. Please treat it as such. Thanks.
