I also was going to say the same thing. If microsoft and apple can
achieve vsync on the same hardware and lower performing hardware then
ubuntu can also. I understand that it will be difficult from a
technical perspective, but vsync is essential for mainstream adoption.

This is a major issue with PC with built-in Intel gfx or Ati gfx cards that utilize the built-in driver that ubuntu comes with. There is no options to enable vsync in the drivers themselves and the CCSM vblank option doesn't work. Nvidia restricted drivers provide the option inside of nvidia-settings so its not a problem for nvidia users. Having screen tear really detracts from the compiz experience and makes everything look unpolished as a whole.
