Note older AMD cards will not support Glamor. Also enabling Glamor (if not enabled already by default) can improve 2D rendering tasks, performing them through MesaвЂ™s OpenGL libraries. A modified version of this configuration may also improve performance, by utilizing DRI (direct rendering infrastructure) 3, which has certain improvements for the way the X server handles rendering. Be sure to save any work and close applications first, as this will log out any users utilizing the graphical front-end. After saving this, restart the X server (running restart gdm can suffice). In /usr/share/X11// directory, edit (or create) a file called nf (look for nf for users with the amdgpu drivers) with the following contents: Section 'Device' ItвЂ™s most likely using Xorg-server 1.19 or Wayland may correct such issues. I expect it will work with most systems, with the exception of those with hybrid graphics. Update: Seems this configuration is effective for many different systems, according to feedback, including Mint, OpenSUSE and Gentoo. Basing myself off my previous post, I had him setup a configuration file to correct the tearing. Currently for Ubuntu 16.04, no proprietary drivers are being offered for AMD cards (note this method is only intended for open source drivers anyhow). HeвЂ™s using an AMD graphics card, and is running Ubuntu Gnome with open source AMD drivers.
