Script to generate a 60 fps flashing AVI; makes vsync issues obvious
Are you using a compositing manager (compiz, gnome shell, kwm, etc.)? The Xv anti-tearing features only work when the driver is rendering directly to front buffer. If you are using a composting manager, Xv rendering is redirected to an offscreen buffer so trying to prevent tearing is irrelevant. To use the anti-tearing features, you need to disable the compositing manager or enable the vsync features in your compositing manager. Alex: I'm just kicking off sawfish (a non-compositing window manager) through ~/.xsession, and not running compiz or similar. Given your suggestion, I also tried disabling Composite in xorg.conf; the tearing remained. Attaching xorg.conf with Composite disabled. Created attachment 73345 [details]
xorg.conf
I have the same issue. The system specs are: - X.Org X Server version 1.12.4 (1.12.4-6+deb7u2) - Debian version 7.4 (wheezy) i386 - CPU AMD Athlon XP 2000+ - graphic card ATI Radeon VE/7000 QY (AGP) (ChipID = 0x5159) playing videos with mplayer causes diagonal tearing on fullscreen with the xv driver, that uses Radeon Textured Video, even if it is played step by step the definition is not an issue as it appears always, as this example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Goa_1955_invasion.ogg it appears perfect with the gl and x11 drivers the problem appears with the default configuration, with KMS and without composition the diagonal tearing is from up-right to down-left full bug report at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711097 -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.

Created attachment 73312 [details] ~/.drirc The Xv output produced by the radeon driver (6.14.4) in Debian wheezy appears to be not vsynced on my Radeon HD 4670; tearing shows up. xvattr says that XV_VSYNC is 1. Using mplayer to play a video with its gl output option is properly vsynced, as are other OpenGL-using apps. When using the xv output option, tearing occurs. Attaching ~/.drirc (vsync enabled), output of xvattr and xvinfo (XV_VSYNC 1), and Xorg.0.log. Attaching make_flasher.sh, a script using mencoder and ImageMagick to generate a flashing avi to make the effect particularly obvious. Playing this avi with "mplayer -vo xv build/output.avi" produces tearing, whereas "mplayer -vo gl build/output.avi" does not.
