i have a bad screen tearing flickering.
i am on gentoo amd64 and nvidia 361.28

i had the same problem with kde4 and the <<solution>> was to set system-settings --> display-monitor --> compositor --> vsync from cheap to none and back to cheap.Now i cannot find any solution and it is very bad for my eyes especially in video and games

My system is slightly differing from yours in that I'm using the nouveau drivers,which dont have the ability to reconfigure,having said that I have reset the gamma to a lower level,and so far there is an improvement,in the tearing effect. Also I'm happier with the dimmer screen.

Create the file:

Code: Select all

/etc/profile.d/kwin_triple_buffer.sh
containing this line:
export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1
Make it executable:
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/kwin_triple_buffer.sh

Then, either reboot or issue the following command (as user):
source /etc/profile.d/kwin_triple_buffer.sh && kwin_x11 --replace &
Enjoy
