The driver name 'intel' is the cause of some confusion. It sounds like the right driver but actually it's old and not usually recommended. It has some bugs that the new generic driver ('modeset') does not. However 'intel' does indeed have the TearFree option which 'modeset' does not yet: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/244
We already have a couple of bugs sharing that upstream bug link so I guess this can be another one. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues #244 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/244 ** Package changed: marco (Ubuntu) => xorg-server (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: xorg-server via https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/244 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Tags added: tearing ** Summary changed: - MATE desktop in Ubuntu 20.04 screen tearing intel graphics + MATE desktop in Ubuntu 20.04 screen tearing with modeset driver -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888810 Title: MATE desktop in Ubuntu 20.04 screen tearing with modeset driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1888810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
