[Bug 1280665] Re: libsdl1.2 always uses backingstore which causes tearing in modern X servers

[Timo Jyrinki]

I've the same with xbmc on 14.04 on intel (haswell). The upstream bug
report has more background on the issue.

I've verified the patch works and it alone fixes the tearing issue, so I
proposed it for merging. The u-series is not open yet during this
weekend it seems, but probably next week this'll need to be uploaded
there first before fixing in trusty.

Meanwhile, I've built the fixed libsdl1.2 in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/ppa (feel free to test and
give positive/negative feedback).
