[gentoo-user] screen tearing with mpv but not mplayer

[Behrouz Khosravi <bz.khosravi@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone. Mpv has horizontal screen tearing(not very serious 
though) while playing video while

mplayer does not. I have tried some configs which I found on the net but 
nothing removes this issue.

Mpv docs even says that tearing problems are probably not related to 
software but driver and such, but

it seems that this is mpv's problem. any idea about how to solve this 
issue? Thanks.
