Excessive screen tearing in WoW

Hi all,

I have excessive screen tearing in WoW (in WINE). I have attached four screenshots, and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I am running WoW in OpenGL mode. I am also using two identical Dell monitors in Big Desktop mode.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT, but I have also tried using an ATI Radeon HD 2400, and the exact same problem occurs. The PC is a Dell Optiplex 755. I am using the official ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver from http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux64/linux64-radeon.html; I built Ubuntu packages the official "ATI" way and installed them.

If anyones has any ideas, I would be very grateful. I have tried playing around with WoW video options, but maybe I need to add something to xorg.conf. Do you think it would be worth attempting the offical Ubuntu-built ATI drivers, rather than the official ATI-built ones?

Thanks.

i have same problem ! but in TBC 2.4.3 patch, and its more horribile :D

my video card is ATI Radeon X1650 PRO 512 MB and my xorg.conf its :

someone can explain us how to resolve that??:(

Well, I solved it in the best way; looked around the office and got myself a NVIDIA card. I have hated ATI for as long as I can remember because of issues, and this is just another fun fact for me to keep.

Always get NVIDIA! :D
