This is only a very partial work-around though, only applicable to video, and only if played through a player supporting vaapi or gl output.
- How do I tell my flash game to render with vaapi?
- How do I tell firefox's html-5 video renderer to use gl?
- How do I tell my window manager to render with either gl or vaapi (yet keeping compositing disabled)? (i.e. I'd like tear-free windows movements, too)
There are more use-cases for basic v-sync support other than just being able to watch a simple video!
In other news, I just noticed something: for some reason my video's were tearing even when using the vaapi and gl outputs just now. This was with kernel-
Toggling the resolution with xrandr fixed it. I don't know how or why it stopped working, but now if/when this happens you should at least be able to fix it without a reboot.
