I've the same with xbmc on 14.04 on intel (haswell). The upstream bug report has more background on the issue.
I've verified the patch works and it alone fixes the tearing issue, so I proposed it for merging. The u-series is not open yet during this weekend it seems, but probably next week this'll need to be uploaded there first before fixing in trusty. Meanwhile, I've built the fixed libsdl1.2 in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/ppa (feel free to test and give positive/negative feedback). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libsdl1.2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280665 Title: libsdl1.2 always uses backingstore which causes tearing in modern X servers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libsdl/+bug/1280665/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
