Description of problem: Fedora 19 is tearing badly on NVIDIA graphics cards. V-sync is fixed for NVIDIA in upstream kernel and nouveau ddx according to Maarten Lankhorst as of 2012-08-22. Ubuntu has perfect v-sync out of the box yet Fedora 18/19 is tearing badly. Geforce 210 as an example, is not tearing at all in Ubuntu but is a lot in Fedora 19 and 18. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 19 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Tearing Expected results: V-sync Additional info:

I'm testing Fedora 19 on a livecd now and it still tears. Nouveau 1.0.7, livecd from 2013 04 30 (yesterday). I don't get how this can slip through all testing, is none aware of the tearing? I have a perfectly fine Geforce 210 that syncs perfectly using proprietary drivers, perfectly on Windows and perfectly on Ubuntu (nouveau). I have never seen Fedora actually doing vsync properly on nouveau. It's kind of useless to have all graphics torn into a billion pieces. Cannot watch video or anything. I think this is kind of a critical flaw.
I have the same problem on Fedora 19_64 with Gnome3 DE - Tearing when playback any video. VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce GT 310M] (rev a2)
