Comment 80 for bug 755841

Has anyone from the Intel team been able to confirm this problem?

If not, what GNU/Linux distribution, desktop and settings are you using?

VIDEO TEARING / SHEARING TEST
-----------------------------
The test clip "teartest.mp4" from the following Ubuntu bug report clearly demonstrates the video tearing / shearing problem on all of my desktop computers.

KDE APPLICATION WINDOW WORKAROUND TO PROBLEM (NOT FULL SCREEN)
--------------------------------------------------------------
On my kubuntu 11.04 system with the KDE desktop I seem to be able to avoid the tearing problem in an application window (not full screen) if I do the following:

Enable desktop effects and vertical synchronization steps:

    Start K --> Settings --> System Settings
      Under "Workspace Appearance and Behaviour" section:
        Click on "Desktop Effects" to open this setting
          Choose the "General" tab
            Enable "Enable desktop effects"
          Choose the "Advanced" tab
            Enable "Use VSync"
          Click on "Apply"

I also tried disabling "Suspend desktop effects for fullscreen
windows". This did seem to reduce the video tearing problem but did
not eliminate it.
