The 'intel' driver isn't really being maintained anymore. So it sounds unlikely this will be fixed.
Unfortunately the supported 'modesetting' driver doesn't have a TearFree option yet: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/244 But the good news is that it still doesn't tear for most people. The 'modesetting' driver will only tear if you have multiple monitors or enable fractional scaling. In both of those cases you can avoid all tearing by logging into 'Ubuntu on Wayland' instead. ** Tags added: focal ** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Memory leaks in Xorg + Memory leak in Xorg when TearFree is enabled on xserver-xorg-video-intel ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues #244 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/244 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908476 Title: Memory leak in Xorg when TearFree is enabled on xserver-xorg-video- intel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1908476/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
