I've various Intel graphics hardware systems, but the identically titled
Ubuntu bug report [1] has success stories also from nvidia users. I just
re-tested on one machine with a fresh Jessie install that the tearing
happens with the test video very visibly when following my steps to
reproduce. After a recompile of libsdl1.2 with the patch added to
debian/patches(/series), the tearing is gone in xbmc.
