I get tearing during video playback. I'm using Arch linux and the Radeon open-source drivers. Under settings, video output, I have vsync set to always enable.
Kernel: 4.0.1-1-ARCH
Kodi 14.2
xf86-video-ati 1:7.5.0-2
Is there another setting I need to enable? Thanks

Hello wsnipex. Could you elaborate on your answer please? Do I run this command in a terminal? Or do I include it in an xsession file somewhere?

under xfce4 you have to disable desktop compositing(at least for full screen apps).

Ah, good to know. Didn't realize xfce had something like that.
