Any ideas? The tearing is unbearable since i updated from 16.04(.01). On ubuntu Gnome 16.10 I was stuck in a login loop because of this.

Some distros may not boot at all,some would hang on specific function when installed while some of those may do the same live while doing specific task.Now when it comes to Ubuntu 14.04 distros only problem that i run on is that some of the distros may cause freeze at some point which i still do test on when and why it does happen.All those above(in arch wiki link) stand for opensource drivers while with closed source i seem to be left behind.I may switch back to opensource drivers if freeze problem persist.I did done edit in grub menu and added radeon in tag(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=вЂќquiet splash XXX.modeset=1вЂі ) because it seems that freeze error happens when system switch from discrete to integrated card or when battery is low on power.Its still something that needs to be tested further since freeze can happen totally random,even after few hours of work.Now i could be much more detailed regarding these problems but my job is not to troubleshoot the systems so i can not do this whole day,i just get machine to run properly more or less so it could run with tasks needed to be done.I learned my lesson and i will pay more attention on which systems are supported in the future.There is also sound lag but that is whole another story.Regards

When it comes to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS driver support is horrible.

Ok,let me explain my problem.I have 17inch HP laptop with hybrid(dual amd)grapics.I have AMD Radeon HD 8610G (APU graphics)and AMD Radeon R7 M260 dedicated GPU.Now opensource/libre drivers work without any problem regarding 2D gaming but some of the OpenGL shader options are disabled,so 3D gaming work partially and with downgraded performance(may vary from game to game).Now when i install fglrx or fglrx-updates proprietary drivers,i get faster runtime on some of the games,but there are certain effects that cause screen tearing on 2D games and some effects can cause lags on 3D games(much more lower on number).For example Heroes of Newerth runs better on opensource/libre graphics drivers while with it i can not play DOTA2,and when i install closed source drivers DOTA2 works but HON have some lags on specific graphics effects.The same goes for Frogatto,2D game which works perfect with opensource drivers while closed source ones cause screen tearing on certain places.Now i am using Ubuntu based distros 14.04.x(tested on multiple versions,trying to see which one works better,and x number does matter because later ones(14.04.5)can not accept proprietary drivers for some reason at the moment.Moving away from unity does help,but not that much,and yes,there were in both cases screen tearing on videos that you can find on youtube regarding tests for tearing,and also tearing with windows(but there were on tearing if window would overlap another window application),weird right.Any solution would be helpful.Regards and reply if you need more info!!! The enhanced configuration is as follows: Section 'Device' Note older AMD cards will not support Glamor. Also enabling Glamor (if not enabled already by default) can improve 2D rendering tasks, performing them through MesaвЂ™s OpenGL libraries. A modified version of this configuration may also improve performance, by utilizing DRI (direct rendering infrastructure) 3, which has certain improvements for the way the X server handles rendering. Be sure to save any work and close applications first, as this will log out any users utilizing the graphical front-end. After saving this, restart the X server (running restart gdm can suffice). In /usr/share/X11// directory, edit (or create) a file called nf (look for nf for users with the amdgpu drivers) with the following contents: Section 'Device' ItвЂ™s most likely using Xorg-server 1.19 or Wayland may correct such issues.

I expect it will work with most systems, with the exception of those with hybrid graphics. Update: Seems this configuration is effective for many different systems, according to feedback, including Mint, OpenSUSE and Gentoo. Basing myself off my previous post, I had him setup a configuration file to correct the tearing. Currently for Ubuntu 16.04, no proprietary drivers are being offered for AMD cards (note this method is only intended for open source drivers anyhow). HeвЂ™s using an AMD graphics card, and is running Ubuntu Gnome with open source AMD drivers.

While I normally post about Arch Linux, as thatвЂ™s what I currently use, a friend recently asked how to get rid of his screen tearing issues.
