Public bug reported:
This is to record the fact that the default Xv output on Intel and fglrx
[add if more such drivers] is tearing, if no compositing is used. The
open radeon driver is tear-free.
Compositing would be disabled with the help of the new unredirect
fullscreen windows feature in Compiz to improve performance, but is
currently not for various video players because of this bug.
On older Intel hardware, setting the default of XvPreferOverlay to true
in xorg.conf should fix the issue, but it does not help with newer
hardware like Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge.
On fglrx, the enabling the "tear free" setting does fix tearing in
fullscreen videos, the vsync option alone does not.
