There is an option for Intel graphics to disable screen tearing under X11. It can be enabled by configuring xorg with a stanza like this,



Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection


Why isn't this enabled by default? What's the downside to the TearFree option?
