Video Tearing Issue

I'm using Zorin 12.3 64-bit on an older Dell Latitude D630. I notice that old video tearing issue when watching fast moving videos or YouTube. Tried disabling compositing in Windows Tweaks but had no effect. Anyone have a solution?

Hi jacatone,

Unlikely that the problem you have is Zorin OS related.
You may check if it can be solved as explained

If you don't have Synaptic Package Manager installed (as it is not present by default) install it and see if one of the other drivers listed helps:
