<pre>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.

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.</pre>
