I don't understand the technical details, so please forgive
misunderstandings or stupid questions.

Do I need SNA for the TearFree option? I get stuttering with SNA and TearFree, and still get tearing with TearFree without SNA. 
I created a xorg.conf with only the following:
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod" "sna"
   Option      "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
Is that the correct way to do it?

Is there any chance of a fix in the foreseeable future? Or is buying a
graphics card a good idea at this point?
