you need to change the DRI config settings:

perhaps we shouldn't make sync to refresh the default.
IIRC there was a similar discussion after the texmem-0-0-1 merge. I was hoping that a well defined configuration system would finally allow us to make the default comply with the spec. The default setting should not affect the frame rate if it was below the vertical refresh rate without vsyncing. Only for benchmarks it is useful to disable vsync. For everyday work/game play you never need more than 75 or 80 Hz, do you?
Look. The spec in this case is simply out of touch with the expectations of the users.
Which means that every user is going to expect to get as-high-as-possible framerates for all their GL applications, unless they say otherwise. And each and every one of them is going to either complain or (more likely) be silently disappointed in their DRI driver if it fails to meet that expectation.
It's great we have a configuration mechanism. It's not great that the default behaviour of our drivers has changed.
Please put it back the way it was.
