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
