Using this card:
$lspci | grep VGA
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde XT [Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition]Without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d settings applied the default AccelMethod is glamor (If I understand correctly using glamor is the only way to get hardware accelerated video decoding for VLC, etc.).
However, with glamor I have tearing and infrequent/random font glitches in Firefox which I don't have with EXA. Is there anything I can try to resolve this?
Thanks.

Hi,
have you tried glamor-egl-git from AUR?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/glamor-egl-git
maybe that fixes some of the tearing issues.
And what do you use VLC for exactly? I use mplayer and youtube-viewer for watching videos and it works great on my HD 6950.
Appart from that I have no idea.

I haven't used glamor-egl-git. Thanks for the suggestion.
I use VLC for videos and can give mplayer a try.
Firefox font glitching is the greater concern than tearing. It's always been a problem with glamor and it goes away with EXA.
Thanks for the reply.

Does this also apply to you?

You might check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log if the glamor module is loaded correctly.
