Debian 12 Bookworm, plus Firefox, Chrome, or Brave browsers,
works great on my desktop computers. 

Sadly, web animations often exhibit screen tearing (strips
of animation pixels scattered vertically/randomly on
the screen) on my ancient T60 Thinkpads with Bookworm. 

There is no screen tearing with Debian 11 Bullseye. 
Nor with Debian 13 Trixie (which won't be stable for
a while, and is missing some apps, or I'd upgrade now).

I'm keeping the Thinkpads; they have better ergonomics
than any current laptop, but sadly have only 3 GB of RAM.
My preferred-for-text-writing-and-coding 4W:3H screens;
some have homebrew 2048W*1536H pixel screens. 

Perhaps Bookworm wants more RAM for animation buffering.
Probably just a coding error.

BTW, I'm keeping Debian - it is so much cleaner and faster
than the old Redhat and newer Ubuntu crap I've endured for
years.  So lets not surrender to a different problem, OK?

So, the ask:

What should I read or learn about so I can debug the screen
tearing that Bookworm inflicts on my beloved Thinkpads?
