Someone said tear-free video is not possible with X, but that it is possible with Wayland.

Yes , its posible with X , Catalyst has tearfree option in his control panel and nvidia too , i use opensource ati driver and it dont apreciate tearing playing games or watching movies.

It is very refreshing, humbling to see the X & Wayland developers creating a future for the Linux desktop.... Inspiring, to say the least. We need this kind of unity on the Linux distro end - focus on 2-3 distributions at most, instead of having so many.
