Screen tearing is something like a repeating benchmark in various window managers. I can\u00b4t imagine something more annoying in a software field, really! Recently I found extremely valuable distribution ArchLabs<\/a> – so let\u00b4s review screen tearing resolving within Openbox WM.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First of all, two facts:<\/p>\n

A) I have just Intel Haskell built-in graphic „card“, so no need to worry about nVidia drivers at all.<\/p>\n

B) Compton<\/a> is used as a composite manager. So feel free to deep dive into documentation and what variables means = 1<\/a> , 2<\/a> .<\/p>\n

ArchLabs is brought configured to some point, making any experience near-working out-of-the-box. Don\u00b4t ask me why setup few variables in one file is such a problem.<\/p>\n

Target file =
\n[crayon lang=“shell“]
\n~\/.config\/compton.conf
\n[\/crayon]<\/p>\n

Adjustements =
\n[crayon lang=“shell“]
\nbackend = „glx“;
\npaint-on-overlay = true;
\nglx-no-stencil = true;
\nglx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
\nvsync = „opengl-swc“;
\n[\/crayon]
\nJust check if there is no different value, in my case I just needed to uncomment and make very tiny changes.<\/p>\n

Reboot and voila….<\/p>\n
