Summary0003809: Screen tearing on XORG with intel driver.
Description

There is screen tearing on any kali linux live version.

Steps To Reproduce

To completely remove tearing you need to add new file:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

which contain text:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Or just use wayland instead of X.org (it will be much better than xorg).

We have no plans to enable non-default options. If this is really better, it should be the default upstream or in Debian.
