I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 11 from 10 and sound is a bit screwy, but I think I know what that is and I'm also getting video tearing which I believe is down to the new interface and Compiz.

In the old Ubuntu I just disabled it, but that doesn't seem an option in this one. Is there any way of killing it when launching XBMC, then re-enabling it when it quits?

I can't see it being anything else as all the settings are exactly the same as they used to be.

Thanks for any help.

At least on Ubuntu 10.04, you can disable Compiz with this command-line :
metacity --replace &

And you can re-enable Compiz with this one :
compiz --replace &

I suppose it still works this way on 11.04

you could try disable composite in the xserver. This has fixed tearing problems before.

@mossroy : The interface is lost when you do that in 11...
@Gobba: Thanks I'll have a search around and find out how to do this.

Thanks for the thread, help me out quite a bit...

I used "nvidia-xconfig --no-composite" in terminal and it fixed the whole video tearing problem.
