After testing it for a day, I can say that DRI 3 and Accel glamor don't solve
tearing and cause more tearing actually. Back to default DRI 2 and SNA.

Does anybody have an AMD gpu to report how much tearing happens there?
I'm fed up with the frequent regressions and missing QA in Intel GPUs
during the last year. It only got worse since the linux-4.3 atomic modesetting
changes.
