Ok, thanks; I guess I'll live with the tearing for now, then. I agree that it seems a bit pointless/unlikely to spend time fixing this given most people won't run into it now that compositors are so common.
Maybe I'll get around to configuring one at some point :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811808 Title: Tearing and/or flickering when using i3wm Status in i3-wm package in Ubuntu: New Status in totem package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When using Intel graphics on my hybrid Nvidia laptop, videos in Totem have awful tearing/flickering which makes them essentially unwatchable. With default X settings, I get tearing across the top of the screen (but I also get very noticeable tearing in other applications); if I enable TearFree (which eliminates tearing in Chrome), the tearing turns into jagged black flickers which extend from the top of the screen right down to near the bottom of the screen on some frames. The flickers are visible in screenshots, so I have attached one.
