[Bug 448711] [NEW] Screen tearing in Karmic Beta

[Tjeremiah]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I've been an Alpha tester since Alpha 1 for Karmic. Reason why I was so
quick to get on Karmic was because a developer stated to me that screen
tearing problem that was present in Jaunty is fixed in Karmic. What was
said came out to be true and through all the Alphas, no screen tearing
was present.

Fast forward to the release of the BETA and this is when the screen
tearing problem first appears in Karmic. The problem isnt as big as it
was in Jaunty. In Jaunty, after the final release, the whole
desktop/gnome would tear the screen with movement. VLC player to Flash
players. In Karmic, the problem only seems to appear while watching a
video using FLASH. VLC sometimes hiccups as well, but its very minor.

I booted up the old kernels to see if the problem exist and from Kernel
2.6.31-7 through 2.6.31-9, the problem isnt present. Going to kernel
2.6.31-10 is when the problem of screen tearing occurs and to 11 to
kernel 12, it gets worst.
