<pre>I built libsdl-1.12.15 using Arch's patches here:
<a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl-nobackingstore/">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl-nobackingstore/</a>
That does fix the flickering with Urban Terror on .916, and that's with
TearFree disabled. With TearFree enabled there's no flickering and no tearing
:).
It looks like xf86-video-intel-2.99.912 and newer just exposes a bug in
SDL/Xorg-server. I'll double check tonight on my old Ironlake laptop where the
problem was much worse, but I think that's it.</pre>
