... on a i5-3550, Debian wheezy, xf86-video-intel-2.20.7 using SNA,
fvwm2.
By just starting fbcompose without any arguments I got rid of tearing
in non-fullscreen(!) mplayer2, mplayer-vaapi, smplayer2, totem and vlc/rvlc windows.
The latter three used to tear in fullscreen mode, too.
Since I was too lazy to compile it, I faked the unmet dependency on
libGLEW.so.1.6 by symlinks in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
ln -s libGLEW.so.1.7.0 libGLEW.so.1.6.0
ln -s libGLEW.so.1.7.0 libGLEW.so.1.6

Before stumbling across fbcompose I tried Cairo-compmgr and dcompmgr,
both are unusable as they simply screw up the display.
The only side-effect of fbcompose I've spotted so far is
upscaling instead of tiling of the background bitmap.
This workaround can become a valueable comment to /bugs.freedeskt op.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 37686

Please note that this is the equivalent of Option "TearFree", with the extra latency of going through an external process.
