[Bug 93679] [SNB] Heavy tearing with xf86-video-intel

--- Comment #16 from Carsten Mattner <carstenmattner at gmail.com> ---
xf86-video-intel's TearFree is the only reliable way right now. Also, if you
use Weston long and hard enough, you can observe tearing with a Wayland
compositor when tearing was one of the problems Wayland was supposed to fix
once and for all.

Related bugs include https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98876 and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101827.

I can imagine that tearing is less obvious to some users who consider it
normal, especially given major distros moving to the modesetting ddx by default
for a while now.
