[Bug 37686] TearFree

--- Comment #118 from Brandon Watkins <bwat47 at gmail.com> ---
Since I saw fbcompose mentioned above as a lightweight standalone compositor
that can produce tear-free output working around this issue, I'd like to
mention I've found another similar compositor that seems to be under more
active development:

Compton: https://github.com/chjj/compton

Its a nice lightweight compositor that doesn't need to replace your window
manager or anything, so it can easily be used to work around this issue and get
tear-free output. In my testing its been very stable too.

Using it with: compton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --glx-no-stencil
--vsync opengl-swc successfully completely removes tearing for me on both my
intel machines (including in fullscreen video and with multiple displays), and
performs better than using the TearFree xorg option :)
