Is anybody else getting screen tearing during video playback in Chrome?
I've been running RR-20190404-1cc7fad on an Asus Chromebox (Haswell Celeron 2955u model with integrated Intel graphics) with no issues, but after a recent Chrome update, video playback started to display horrible tearing (best exhibited by opening this YouTube tearing test: YouTube. This same YouTube video doesn't tear in the YouTube Kodi add-on and neither do any videos I playback directly in Kodi or the Plex addon).
I updated to RR-20190423-716b9f8 and this made no difference at all. I also tried creating a custom xorg.conf in the ~/.config directory with the following settings:
- Section "Device"
- Identifier "Device0"
- Driver "intel"
- VendorName "INTEL Corporation"
- Option "TripleBuffer" "false"
- Option "TearFree" "false"
- EndSection
- Section "Extensions"
- # fixes tearing
- Option "Composite" "Disable"
- EndSection

This didn't make a difference. I also tried this xorg.conf:
- Section "Device"
- Identifier "Intel Graphics"
- Driver "intel"
- Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
- Option "TearFree" "true"
- EndSection
as detailed here: Tearing Intel Xorg but again no dice.
Maybe something in Chrome has changed recently?
