Description Matti Hämäläinen 2013-05-27 19:20:12 UTC

Commit 195a51353c3af7bd253227da5f759f06cea01f73 (sna/video: Convert to a pure Xv backend) introduces tearing in Xv output, for example with MPlayer2 video player. Pretty easy to see with a video that has horizontal movement. The tearing point slowly changes, moving downwards.

Used http://tnsp.org/~ccr/intel-gfx/tearing_test.mp4 for testing.

And I thought I was being so clever in honouring the sync parameter passed down by Xv!

    sna/video: Correct interpretation of 'sync'
    
    The 'sync' parameter past along XvPutImage is not a request for us to
    perform the operation synchronised to the vblank, rather a hint that the
    client wishes the operation to be synchronous. In Xorg, this is
    implemented as an immediate ShmCompletion event so make sure we flush
    the operation to hw in this case.
