I'm not sure what you mean with "distort" ; it sounds like you're
seeing tearing.

Changing the resolution of your screen won't fix your problem..

Make sure you have activated Xv v-sync ; you can try enabling opengl v-sync.

If using VDPAU; disabling Composite in the xorg.conf file is required
is using nvidia drivers 180.xx ; and helps for some with 185.xx and
above
