I have this problem as well. Unity 2d, which uses metacity, has tearing,
while the normal mode, which uses compiz, doesn't.

Title:
  [i945gm] Loss of vsync when using Metacity.

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

  Screenshot of tearing: http://i.imgur.com/J2YWn.jpg

  Tearing is visible whenever a video plays. Doesn't matter whether it's
  in a media player or Flash, Xv or GL. Using an external screen does
  not help.
