I've moved some old tearing bugs in here since I now understand it's just a bug in the Xorg modesetting driver, which is the one that most machines use:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues/244 ** Summary changed: - Fullscreen windows (like Totem) are tearing in gnome-shell Xorg sessions + Fullscreen windows (like Totem) are tearing in Xorg sessions ** Summary changed: - Fullscreen windows (like Totem) are tearing in Xorg sessions + Fullscreen windows are tearing in Xorg sessions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754284 Title: Fullscreen windows are tearing in Xorg sessions Status in X.Org X server: New Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Fullscreen windows (like Totem) are tearing in gnome-shell Xorg sessions. This is probably to do with composite unredirecting... In compiz we have a workaround to avoid this tearing by disallowing unredirect ("bypass") in known problematic video players. But I'm not sure if mutter has such a workaround/whitelist/blacklist we can use.
