Many Linux users have cited Wayland’s forced vsync as a blocker for gaming related scenarios. This patch adds tearing support into Xwayland!

    I know this might sound sumb to some. But I have a freesync monitor, so as long as I stay within my freesync range, I should still be completely tear free, even with V-sync disabled, right?

      I am not sure as I’ve never used VRR on Wayland with an AMD GPU before, but that does sound like how its supposed to work. That’s what I do with my Nvidia card when using Gsync or Freesync in X11.

        At least that’s how it used to work on Windows (10) Just disable v-sync ingame and freesync should take care of the tearing. Although over here, some people say that you have to enable v-sync, then Wayland by itself has v-sync, kinda making freesync irrelevant?¿? I guess I’m just gonna wait for a new release of Xwayland and for it to land on Arch’s repos so that I can test it out.
