Package: libsdl1.2debian Version: 1.2.15-9 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer, Recent builds of SDL 1.2 always use the X server's backing store, when the server supports it. Servers with compositing always say they support the backing store. However, backing store updates can't be synced with vertical blanks, so this leads to video tearing in SDL applications. The upstream bug report is <https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2383> but they say they're not going to fix it in 1.2 directly. Previously, users had to set the SDL_VIDEO_X11_BACKINGSTORE environment variable to get this behavior. Other distributions are patching SDL to restore this behavior and work around the problem: * <http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/libs/libsdl1.2/libsdl1.2_1.2.15-8ubuntu1.1/changelog> * <http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/SDL.git/commit/?id=81735fc2e1701430d006e874f882b56629e7ee5c> Please consider a similar approach.
