Hi, I use VLC (other players are not an option) and was suffering pretty bad screen tearing. A quick Google search turned up the following fix.
This fixed the screen tearing but now my video playback appears to be slightly to slow, It's not jerky but seems to be playing back at a reduced fps.
It may (or may not) be worth noting that I never had any tearing issue with Ubuntu but did have equally bad tearing with Windows 7 (although with windows I could fix it by closing my laptop lid just far enough to disable the internal screen. (I have it connected to a TV via HDMI).
It's an ASUS x54c
Intel HD3000
Thanks for any help :)
