Twinkikabuki Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Just found out that if you enable the desktop zoom, even just by one... this seems to get rid of ALL tearing problems... I think it updates faster in zoom mode or something. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15672-just-another-way-to-get-rid-of-tearing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteo Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 What is desktop zoom mode? Do you mean increasing icon size? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15672-just-another-way-to-get-rid-of-tearing/#findComment-100718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixos Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 ...enable the desktop zoom, even just by one... would you explain how to do that please? i have "desktop zoom" enabled, but you seem to be talking about changing the speed at which the icons zoom when clicked on?

Twinkikabuki Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 No, no, no... Apple+Alt/Opt+8 to enable... and then Apple+Alt/Opt+"+" to zoom in... just once is enough to do it. Hurtz my eyes a little... but it seems to get rid of all the tearing.

96Gator Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 As far as doing this on an Intel box (t42) It is in system Preferences and Universal? If so, setting it to on and changing it did nothing to the tearing.

Twinkikabuki Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Actually, i just used the shortcut keys... but now that i look, it probably has to do with the smooth images option... either way, it works beautifully over here.

Kenta Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It'd help to know what keys I need to press without a mac keyboard. Edit: I enabled it, and it just made everything worse looking and made even more window tearing.

Twinkikabuki Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Ok... am I the only one who this works for? On a standard keyboard it's Alt+Win+= to zoom in... I have QE disabled, but i don't think that makes the difference though. It shouldn't make anything worse, it should only zoom in a bit, but this seems to update the screen rapidly. I don't know what to say... it works perfect for me. I was just hoping to help. o.O Also, just found out that it will also fix a disintegrated pointer after a full-screen OpenGL app. But as soon as the zoom is disabled, it goes back to the freaky pixels.

Hurtz my eyes a little... but it seems to get rid of all the tearing. Your method removed all mouse taring for me, but the screen was too blurry when zoomed in by only one increment. Perhaps this is new information that could be used to help the nvidia and ati driver developers determine the root cause of taring or even determine a remedy. FWIW, I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro running at 1280x1024 with CI & QE "supported" (I also have Quartz 2D Extreme supported and beam sync disabled). I am running the standard drivers from the Jas 10.4.6 DVD.

tuosd Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 This eliminates all mouse tearing for my system too. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15672-just-another-way-to-get-rid-of-tearing/#findComment-173558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersushi Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Eliminates tearing but... zoomed in, not the whole desktop fits on the screen now. Can't really work like that, moving around with my mouse to move around the desktop and find the taskbar or the dock? The smallest step to zoom in is way too much, would be nice to zoom in just 1 pixel.
