Compositing in linux


Hey guys

i run a very nice nvidia GTX 460 1GB SE with the latest drivers

ok basically after experience alot of screen tearing in a certain game i play whilst on XFCE4. and trying multiple fix's, these included TwinMonitor disabling, Sync to VBlank, xorg additions.

I found that compositing was causing my screen tearing, i also experienced this problem with compiz in gnome. 2 completely different DE's and when any sort of compositing is enabled, screen tearing appears

I researched this issue and found many many forum posts from many different distro's reporting the same error with nvidia

So im wondering if anyone has a permanent fix or workaround, or if anyone else experiences this issue
