Hello,

firstly, thanks for the starter pack, it is awesome. I have started using it with double screen. however, I have started seeing tearing. I am using your dot files exactly with a two difference.

exec --no-startup-id xrandr --output DP-1 --off --output HDMI-1 --mode 3840x2160 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output eDP-1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 784x2160 --rotate normal --output HDMI-2 --off exec --no-startup-id nitrogen --restore

I have found some tutorials online which tells me to use glx in compton config, however I quite messed up upon using them. I thought maybe you could give some advice. Thanks!

Hi, I realise how old this is but I've had the same issue, and solved it for myself.

I'm using NVIDIA GPU with Force Full Composition Pipeline enabled.

If you update ~/.config/compton.conf and change these settings

backend = "glx";

paint-on-overlay = true;

glx-no-stencil = true;

vsync = "opengl-swc";
