So far no luck. Combining these (on skylake, i915) (1) compton --backend xr_glx_hybrid (2) compton --backend glx (3) Tearfree + SwapbuffersWait
gives tearing: (1) + (3): tearing and hang (2) + (3): tearing (2): some tearing and slow in addition, keyboard and mouse become sluggish on occasion. I am using MATE but that should not matter. In sum, so far the fastest, tearfree desktop I had with Option "AccelMethod" "none" Strangely, now this also gives sluggish mouse and unusable keyboard.
