2013-01-10 05:15:00 Timo Jyrinki description This is to record the fact that the default Xv output on Intel is tearing, if no compositing is used. Compositing would be disabled with the help of unredirect fullscreen windows feature in Compiz, but is currently not for various video players because of this bug or similar bugs in other drivers. This is to record the fact that the default Xv output on Intel is tearing, if no compositing is used. Compositing would be disabled with the help of unredirect fullscreen windows feature in Compiz to improve performance, but is currently not for various video players because of this bug or similar bugs in other drivers. On older Intel hardware, setting the default of XvPreferOverlay to true in xorg.conf should fix the issue, but it does not help with newer hardware like Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge.

On older Intel hardware, setting the default of XvPreferOverlay to true in xorg.conf should fix the issue, but it does not help with newer hardware like Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge. On fglrx, the enabling the "tear free" setting does fix tearing in fullscreen videos, the vsync option alone does not.
