Do you have a video of the flickering? And does this happen with the xrender backend as well?
Here is a demo of the flickering. And here is a demo with xrender backend.
When I try to use the xrender
backend the following error occurs.
enan@elariel:~$ ps -A | grep -i 'compton'
enan@elariel:~$ compton --config $HOME/.config/compton.conf
[ 02/27/2019 03:06:16.983 vsync_opengl_swc_init WARN ] OpenGL swap control requires the GLX backend.
[ 02/27/2019 03:06:16.983 session_init FATAL ERROR ] Failed to initialize the backend
So the video that I linked of xrender backend, that video is actually not using any compton at all. That's why there is no flickering.
@enanajmain To use the xrender backend, you need to pass --vsync none
@enanajmain BTW, can you also check if this happens with other compositors (e.g. KWin, GNOME mutter, etc.)
Thanks!
Here is a link to the demo of recorded video with xrender
backend. There is no flickering in the recorded video. But my normal experience has some screen tearing. Not that much if I don't use compton at all, but definitely more than when I used glx
backend with vsync="opengl-swc"
I've not yet tried out other compositors that you mentioned. I'll get back to you after I do so.
@enanajmain OK, there is an easy thing you can try that might fix the problem: --xrender-sync-fence
@enanajmain Also, while you are trying that, can you also run compton like this LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose compton (your command line flags here)
, and post the outputs?
The flickering also happens with --xrender-sync-fence
flag with backend=glx
in config file.
The output of LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose compton --config ~/projects/dotFiles/compton.conf --xrender-sync-fence
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/tls/i965_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/enan/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/enan/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Using DRI2 for screen 0
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/enan/.drirc: No such file or directory.
The output of LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose compton --config ~/projects/dotFiles/compton.conf --xrender-sync-fence --vsync none
with backend=xrender
in config file was nothing. In this case, the result was similar as before, i.e. no flickering in recorded video but screen tearing in normal situation.
By the way, I never really looked at my config file. I don't even remember where I got it from. I just had to change some lines when I moved to your fork from the official version, some options were deprecated or renamed.
Now I started looking through it and that file is well documented but I can't really understand much. Would it be bad if I just used the compton.example.conf
file in the repository instead, for minimum config?
@enanajmain Oh, there is a thing I need clarification: do you also see the flickering with you eyes? As in, is the flickering only visible in the recording? Or is the flickering also visible on the screen?
i'm gonna use flickering
to indicate flickering in recorded video and tearing
to indicate screen tearing visible on the screen.
backend = glx
, with or without --xrender-sync-fence
, causes flickering but not tearing.backend = xrender
, with or without --xrender-sync-fence
, causes tearing but not flickering.Of course when I use backend = xrender
, I'm also adding --vsync none
flag to the launch option.
@enanajmain OK, so there is flickering in the recorded video, but what you saw on the screen is not what recorded in the video? Meaning there is no flickering on the screen (regardless of tearing)?
Yes, but the tearing that I see, when the video comes out fine is not that bad as you can see in the video when the video comes out flickering. I'm going to iterate once more.
backend = glx
in compton.conf, with or without --xrender-sync-fence
in launch option
backend = xrender
in compton.conf, with --vsync none
in launch option, with or without --xrender-sync-fence
in launch option
I'm using tearing and flickering differently because there is a difference. The video that I linked, you can see parts of the screen gets transparent and you can see the background, this is what I'm calling flickering. And then I see this screen tearing when I scroll my browser or watch a video, but that doesn't make parts of the screen transparent, there is more of a tearing. Hence the term tearing.
And what about the configuration file. I want to use compton only to remove that tearing I'm talking about. I don't need any shadow or effect or anything at all. If minimalism can result in less problems I'd be happy.
@enanajmain Thanks. I understand your problem, and I understand what you consider as tearing. But thanks for clarification.
I'm asking whether you see the same flickering both in video and on screen because that provide us useful information to locate the problem.
No, when I see tearing in screen, there is no flickering in recorded video. when I see flickering in recorded video, I don't see any screen tearing.
@enanajmain So from what I heard so far, there is a decent chance that this bug is in the driver, not compton.
However, the driver you are using is configured in an "outdated" mode (It uses DRI2 instead of DRI3). This problem might just go away if you update your configuration.
If you post the config files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
, and maybe also the X log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log
, I might be able to help you configure your system properly.

@enanajmain Hmm, your X is a bit old, so this might not work. Try add Option "DRI" "3"
to your xorg.conf (between Section
and EndSection
) and see what happens.
After editing xorg.conf, do I need to restart X?
Sorry for late response. Is there any way to halt compton (running in background, launched from ~/.xinitrc) for the time of recording? My desperate hack is to killall compton and relaunch compton within a script for recording. It'll get me by through this season. I can't really give much time now into fixing this.
I'll get back to you as soon as I have time. Thanks for the support.
After editing xorg.conf, do I need to restart X?
Yes
Was this issue reported by anyone else?
I moved to default Ubuntu Gnome, so didn't have the chance to report back. Sorry.

Video card info
Video card driver I don't know how to check that. I'm just putting output of

Steps of reproduction
I'm using the following script to record my screen. The bug (not really a bug, more of a problem) can be reproduced by just launching this script and then watching the recorded video.
Expected behavior
The recorded video has constant flickering. If I kill the compton instance and record a video, it doesn't have any flickering.
Current Behavior
There should be no flickering in recorded video.
