[08:45] <vytenis> Hi all, i just installed ubuntu gnome 16.04 on lenovo t450 with intel 5500 graphics and i have experience alot of screen tearing especially when scrolling on website, watching youtube videos. I look around for fix but all solutions i saw were for inter graphics and older distributions. Maybe some of you have had this issue and know how to fix?

[08:49] <mgedmin> my approach is to wait for the glorious wayland future where tearing will be fixed once and for all and everyone will be happy and there will be shiny rainbows and unicorns everywhere
[08:49] <mgedmin> I think you can apt install gnome-wayland-session and try it out today
[08:50] <mgedmin> ah, it's only in the PPA
[08:50] <mgedmin> no, I just misremembered the package name
[08:50] <mgedmin> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-session-wayland
[08:51] <mgedmin> last time I tried it I switched back to X because xchat-gnome would segfault on startup
[08:52] <mgedmin> and because vim couldn't access the middle-click clipboard with "*
[08:52] <mgedmin> curiously I almost don't see any tearing, except near the top edge of my external monitor
[09:20] <pchoo> I installed teh nvidia drivers with lightdm, and I have a wonderful triangle that tears regularly :D
