 +==Modern NVIDIA Graphics cards compositing issues FIX==
 +
 +Recent GPU's with proprietary drivers are having problems with KWIN compositing (vsync) and that 
 +causes a lot of tear, the only fix is to: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding these lines under "device"
 +
 +>> Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
 +>> Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2233"
 +
 +and:
 +
 +>> export __GL_YIELD="USLEEP"
 +
 +in /etc/profile.d/profile.sh
 +
 +This solves tearing problem for many NVIDIA graphic cards, it's so common that it deserves to be
 +noted in slackwiki.

 ==Installing Catalyst as a package is a bad idea== ==Installing Catalyst as a package is a bad idea==
 18-04-2016: Steam wont work properly if Catalyst is installed with the procedure listed here. Without being technical enough to understand it, it seemingly doesn't install the correct 32 bit stuff required for OpenGL GLX Direct Rendering. Therefore I think the Automatic install option should be the recommended way of installing Catalyst. 18-04-2016: Steam wont work properly if Catalyst is installed with the procedure listed here.
