--- Comment #11 from Thomas Rohloff v10lator@myway.de --- (In reply to Michel Dänzer from comment #10)
Your options right now are basically:
- Use fullscreen apps, and make sure the compositing manager unredirects fullscreen windows.
- Using an OpenGL compositing manager may help to avoid tearing with non-fullscreen apps as well.
- Use EXA with Option "EXAVSync" (but read the radeon manpage about its
caveats).
I'm now on LXQT with compton as compositor. The tearing is still there.
