Screen Tearing in Ubuntu Mate - sivaptw - 2020-02-06

I'm getting screen tearing while playing back h264 1080p files on N4000 gemini lake cpu in Ubuntu Mate.

I tried with Windows 10 but no screen tearing.

Don't use mate, thanks.

I don't see what difference Mate makes.  What drivers are you using?

Turn of your Composite Manager if one is one. Also check you are using the correct video driver. A proprietary one will give you better performance than the open source ones in most cases

I will try changing the video driver. Thanks for your suggestion.
