Tested with SNA. tearing is gone, but the performance of rendering
windows in totally unacceptable.

Yes.
and I have compiled libdrm and the intel driver from git, and I update
it today.
Please provide the Git commit hashes with the commit summaries to make

Ehm, how I do that?
What I simply did was a PKGBUILD and built the packages from git with
archs packagemanagementsystem.
But this is issue exists even with the releases.
Since when do you experience these issues?
With UXA, rendering of the windows in my XFCE4-desktop goes just
fines, good performance, windows (exspecially GTK+) doesn't hang after
if I drag them over the screen, but there is lot of small tearing.
And I want this to go away, I do not use any kind of composition, and
I am using XFCEs window manager.
Maybe your monitor causes the tearing?
Thats what I am trying to figure out.
Here is my xorg.conf
Section ServerFlags
Option AutoAddDevices Off
EndSection
Section InputDevice
Identifier Keyboard0
Driver keyboard
Option XkbLayout no
EndSection
Section Device
Identifier Card0
Driver intel
Option AccelMethod UXA
Option TearFree true
Option MigrationHeuristic greedy
OptionTripleBuffer true
EndSection
With SNA, the performance of the applications is muc much worse. If I
just replace UXA with SNA.
Is the tearing fixed though?
I will have to come back on that later need to test, to be sure.
What happens when you test different Window managers or some live
distribution with other versions? You can even test those by saving the
ISO file on your drive and directly boot those using GRUB 2 [3].
Tried different WMs but I wanna stick with XFCE.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am sorry for not being more helpful. Maybe the developers have more
ideas.
No problem.
Thanks,
Paul
