I have a question, does Compton has anything to do with Compiz?

I'm using Mint MATE and for the past 2 months I couldn't get VSync to work in Wine. I've tried everything except this.

EDIT: Just tried compton with the Xpander's command, however no luck in forcing Vsync in Wine games.

compton and compiz are tottaly different compositors.

about wine games, it does work for me. maybe you are running in virtual wine window and that causing issues?

Is it possible to get this setting only enabled when you are on at your desktop?
I don't like using vsync in games as it generates input lag for me.

Works for me everywhere, fullscreen or not, on nvidia. Do you have an AMD GPU?

Mint 17.1 MATE with GTX 960 using drivers 349.16. I mainly need it for some games that don't have a builtin VSync limiter such as Risen and Septerra Core, for example these 2 games break if rendering hundreds of frames.

Games with a built in VSync work perfectly.

Hi,

On my elementary OS i don't have the xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ and nothing that seems similar...
