Thank you very much Daniel for your unity and compiz patches.
For me the situation is a little complicated, using a Nvidia ION platform I get:
- heavy tearing using Unity and Unity-2d, kwin, Windows 7 with aero disabled
- minor tearing using Gnome-shell (upper part of the screen).
- zero tearing using Windows 7 aero enabled and any ubuntu desktop environment disabling composite. Zero tearing setting "Force fullscreen redraws on repaint" on Compiz as well, but in this case I get an inacceptable framerate drop.
In my case your patches reduced tearing and improved smoothness in Unity to the level I get in Gnome-shell.
