Reclaiming ownership, downgrading priority since this is impossible to
fix without compromise with the current hardware support. For the
foolhardy, you may like to try Option "TearFree" "true". It basically
runs another compositor layer between the framebuffer and the scanout,
so a major waste of memory if you are indeed using a pageflipping
renderer (video player, game, compositor). And it exposes a few bugs in
the Damage layer, so not ready for prime time just yet.
