MacBeholder Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Is there a way to see if BeamSync is enabled on my osx ? I´m wiht oxs 10.4.7 Jas Beam Sync is already disabled wiht this version ? What kind of trouble may i have, disabling it? What is the best method ? But clearly, I would like to see the status of this if it is enabled or disabled. Everything is ok with my intel gma900 graphic card. Thanks man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Go to Terminal in the Utilities folder and type: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0 That will disable Beamsync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Please, how could I turn on again bean sync via terminal ? It is best used on an LCD monitor not a CRT. To turn it back on, just use the same command, but change the 0 to a 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBeholder Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Thanks for the patience Well i used the command sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 1 to turn on back again bean sync, but it does not work. Im still feeling the tearing , and my xbench are up to 87 before i ran sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0 xbench was at 65. If you could help me again, will be greatful Thanks Rammjet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The values are: 0 = disable beamsync 1 = Auto beamsync 2 = force beamsync To check your current setting, run this in Terminal: defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates It will give you the value of "deferredUpdates" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
