I have a problem with screen tearing in full screen in Ubuntu. Even if I enable "Wait for V-sync on refresh" on PCSX2 it does not make any difference. Neither hardware or software OpenGL mode. Though the latter makes the image more blurry. This also happens on Adobe Flash videos in Firefox, while HTML5 videos run fine. Media players with VDPAU have no tearing issue in full screen.
Windowed mode runs fine in all applications without tearing.
I run Ubuntu 15.04 64bit with 352 Nvidia drivers and have the PPA PCSX2 version (early August). Compiz is enabled. Options sync to vblank are checked. In Nvidia settings in OpenGL I also have the sync to vblanc, conformant texture clamping and allow clipping options ticked on. Also triple buffer is enabled in xorg.conf and the appropiate resolution (1920x1080) and refresh rate (60hz) as well.
Is this a general issue in Ubuntu OS or do I miss something? Have other users any issue with full screen tearing?

I had a similar problem with the latest nvidia drivers. i'm using an older version now. Version 346 from the repos. Works much better.

Hey guys,
Has anyone recently installed this on Debian Testing 64 bit? I've not had any joy installing it since I've moved from 32 bit ubuntu to 64 bit debian testing.
The guides linked here haven't been updated since 2013.
Is there a more up to date one at all?

PPA won't work for Debian, just Ubuntu based only. First page of this thread shows how to enable i386 architecture. Go to git and type in git clone (insert git url here). Cd to pcsx2 directory and type cmake CMakelist.txt. the terminal output will be filled with errors. It will tell you the missing dependencies. Make sure you use the terminal in the official repositories to install the missing dependencies. And use the dev version of a package If available. it's a little trickier compared to Ubuntu systems.
I almost forgot, you have to install the i386 versions.
