How to fix screen tearing

English Hardware
1

Hi
I have problem with screen tearing, it’s very annoying and I don’t know how to fix it after I searched for a fix in Ubuntu based distro I find a solution that fixes but this not working in OpenSUSE
The solution was:
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section “Device”
Identifier “Intel Graphics”
Driver “intel”
Option “TearFree” “true”
EndSection

PS: I have nVIDIA GTX 750TI but I haven’t found this kinda solution for it even with the proprietary driver so I take nVIDIA card out and use Intel onboard VGA If I could fix this problem for nVIDIA it’s much better for me if not could you please help fix it with intel onboard like the solution I mentioned above

PS2: I’m very new to Linux and I have 0 experience with OpenSUSE

Thank you

Please provide more information:

  • In a graphical terminal (e.g. Gnome-terminal, Konsole or Xterm) run
inxi -bxxza

and paste the output here using code tags ( # ] above the input window). Note that inxi may not be installed, which you can remedy in Yast Software Management, or by running

sudo zypper in inxi

in the same terminal.

  • In same manner, paste here output from:
ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

susepaste -n MahyarSFI /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It will most likely produce a failure message that you can ignore. Otherwise, paste here the URL it provides. If error, then goto susepaste.org to find it actually succeeded by clicking on the recent link in the upper right from which opened you can copy the URL where you find MahyarSFI to paste here. If you get a file does not exist message you may need to use the file ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log instead. Both files may exist. The newer of the two is preferable.

Nvidia + proprietary driver: check (turn on) setting “Force composition pipeline” in Nvidia’s control panel.
Save settings to conf file.
