screen glitches SOLVED

I have very annoying screen glitches when browsing. This happens mainly in firefox, but google chrome also shows them. Scrolling through my calibre list also shows the horizontal glitches. openSUSE Tumbleweed on my second drive shows nothing of the kind. It's crisp sharp and fast. My grahics card is an onboard GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core.
Does anybody know what's the issue and how it can be solved. I -LOVE- my Bunsenlabs install but if I can not resolve the issue I'm forced to switch to openSUSE. (Antergos, Ubuntu, Mint are also flawless). I hope to get some help on this annoying issue.

Re: screen glitches SOLVED

Check compton.conf, for this old intel

backend = "glx";

seems to do the trick.

This intel

inxi -G
Graphics:  Card: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
           Display Server: X.Org 1.19.2 drivers: modesetting (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
           Resolution: 1920x1200@59.95hz
           GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ironlake Desktop GLX Version: 2.1 Mesa 13.0.6

Sometimes

killall compton

is a road to nirvana.

Re: screen glitches SOLVED

I just checked the Compton config from ArchLabs and in that file the vsync line is enabled. I had no issues on AL so I’m restoring my bunsenlabs image at this moment. I’m sure the issue is resolved.

EDIT: solved
