After commit e07574d6 the default vblank method is GLX again. To use the XPresent method, run

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -s xpresent

and restart the window manager.

If you use picom compositor and have same problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306908 you need edit PKBUILD for meson build instead of make. Here is guide how you can do this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Meson_package_guidelines

xpresent method is crazy fast for gaming and no screen tearing!!! i wonder why it isnt the default method?to enable it globally add "XFWM4_USE_PRESENT=1" in /etc/enviroment

This package currently doesn't build after the xorgproto switch. Follow https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105031 for updates.

UPDATE: Fixed in xorgproto 2018.2-1.

@liviucmg Latest Xfwm4 added an option to select the compositing method:

--vblank=off|present|glx Set the vblank mode

Thanks for the heads up, will update shortly.

From git, now builds against gtk3. Please update libwnck dependency to libwnck3.

andreyv commented on 2017-10-17 18:09 (UTC)

Indeed, the old method uses XRender, which is different from the new XPresent method.
