Screen tearing and frame buffer issues on dual monitor setup
by linuxUser247 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YMNA)
hi,
I am using dual monitor configuration on Ubuntu 19.10 with Unity desktop. Everything is working correctly in this configuration:
Attachment 32418
but when I change it to this configuration:
Attachment 32419
I am having huge screen tearing and the desktop shows randomly large chunks of multiple frames (several frames mixed in the frame buffer). The screen is stable, though, no flickering, etc. The issues appear on both monitors.
I already applied this solution: https://github.com/bauca/graphics-switcher
My hardware is i7-8700k iGPU and 2x 1080p60 monitor.
Do you think a dedicated graphics card can solve this problem?
