You are right, but I am using this strange resolution with a good reason. If I am using 1920x1080 I am suffered from a even bigger bug - after resume (which often happens with laptops) the screen flickers like hell.
See here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872760 Playing around with resolution and framerates I found that it doesn't flicker in any other resolution but 1920x1080. That's why I created this custom one. Didn't expect this dependency on tearing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888810 Title: MATE desktop in Ubuntu 20.04 screen tearing with modeset driver Status in X.Org X server: Unknown Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Running a Ubuntu 20.04 with its default (kmodesetting ?) driver.
