(Get the code!)
Since I saw fbcompose mentioned above as a lightweight standalone compositor that can produce tear-free output working around this issue, I'd like to mention I've found another similar compositor that seems to be under more active development:
Compton: https:/
Its a nice lightweight compositor that doesn't need to replace your window manager or anything, so it can easily be used to work around this issue and get tear-free output. In my testing its been very stable too.
Using it with: compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --glx-no-stencil --vsync opengl-swc successfully completely removes tearing for me on both my intel machines (including in fullscreen video and with multiple displays), and performs better than using the TearFree xorg option :)
