Hi,

the tearing video issue with XV output seemed to be fixed on my old
computer with i945 graphics at some point. Last year I upgraded to a
box with i5-2400, and got bitten again by tearing video. Currently I
use kernel 3.4-rc5, Xserver 1.12 and xorg-intel 2.18. I use gnome3 and
gnome-shell on my desktop, and tried several players (mplayer, vlc,
mythtv).

Am I just doing something wrong, or is smooth video playback not the
scope of the Sandy Bridge development?

Regards,
Tino
