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.
liviucmg commented on 2017-10-17 18:01 (UTC)
@andreyv Ah that makes sense, thank you. I thought XPresent was the old buggy method. Indeed I am using an Nvidia GT 710 and only the OpenGL method is working for me.
andreyv commented on 2017-10-16 16:55 (UTC)
XPresent is also a new compositing method that fixes vsync issues, and is arguably better than the OpenGL method.
If XPresent doesn't work for you, you should open an upstream bug: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/ (for proprietary NVIDIA driver the problem may already be known). xfwm4 used to have a variable to override the default method, but now doesn't seem to — I suggest reporting this too.
For now you can locally edit the PKGBUILD to enable OpenGL.
