<br>
driver version used: 2.99.917+git8674.25c9a2fcc-2.1<br>
Xorg: 1.20.4<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there a reason why the "intel" Xorg driver uses DRI2<br>
by default instead of DRI3 ? If you want DRI3 you need to use<br>
Option "DRI" "3".<br>
<br>
Using DRI2 cause problems with compositors such as compton, in
partocular<br>
is causes scrolling in Firefox to stutter badly. Switching to
DRI3 fixes the problem.<br>
<br>
See the end of this compton issue for the discussion that led to
finding this:<br>

<br>
So shouldn't DRI3 be the default (it's the default when using
the modesetting driver).<br>
<br>
///<br>
<br>
That's unrelated, but "man intel" mentions that the TearFree
option is disabled by default while<br>
I observed it was enabled by default on my system.<br>
