My notebook has Intel 945GM video powered by the i915 driver under Quantal. I'd be okay with enabling "Unredirect fullscreen windows" by default if there were some other way to force Totem to sync to the display's vblank interval for fullscreen video. I tested enabling "Unredirect fullscreen windows" in CompizConfig Settings Manager's Composite plugin, and this caused frequent horizontal tearing with Totem fullscreen video, although non-fullscreen video is fine (and VLC and Mplayer work fine both fullscreen and non-fullscreen). Also in the Composite plugin, "Detect Refresh Rate" is enabled and "Refresh Rate" is set to "60", so the presence of tearing suggests that those two settings don't affect Totem in fullscreen mode. Should I file a new bug?
