so the solution I found is to create a radeon.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
    Option "TearFree" "on"
    Option "DRI" "3"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection


I have a suggestion : you should enable by default "TearFree on" if the graphic
card supports both DRI 3 and glamor,

it will permit to eliminate tearing even if vsync is set to "never" in kwin
