[Xorg-driver-geode] Tearing Effects in Videos

[Marius Selach]

Hello again,

does realy nobody knows how to activate VSync with the Geode driver
for X or is there another way to fix this tearing issue? I realy stuck
on this and see no solution.
I just saw that there was an solution available for the video-amd but
this solution seams not to be available for video-geode.

>it seams I got the same problem like Constantin. I build a multimedia system based on an AMD Geode. In my case a Geode LX 800. I also connected an LCD TV to view movies >with it. The movies are playing very well, but I get tearing effects on movements. I think this is because the VGA output is not vsynced/blanked to the display. During my search I >found something in the xserver-xorg-video-amd documentation about VBI an vsync. But these options seams not to be valid for  xserver-xorg-video-geode.
