[Intel-gfx] FW: [ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-intel 2.6.99.902

[djmagee at mageenet.com]

Ah ha! I hadn't seen those last few posts on the bug report.  I turned off metacity, and now I can report, I can watch video tear-free.  However, it only works when I have one display active.  If I have two active displays, the tearing is still there.  I'm using a sony tube hooked up to the VGA port (through DVI-VGA adapter), and a sony kdl-46xbr6 via HDMI port on the prolink card.  The TV is being driven using the timings for 1920x1080 at 60 autodetected by the driver.  I'm adding 1920x1080 at 60 to the VGA output using gtf and xrandr, so I'm sure the timings are different.  Is this expected behavior, or a new problem?  Again, let me know what I can do to help.

Thanks,
Doug Magee

Other video drivers also have attribute XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANK, and set 'off'
to 0, and 'on' to 1, so I changed the default last. Please read intel
manual.

Do you use a composite window manager?  See comments #35,#36 at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19635
