        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

X is now about 25yrs old and it wasn't designed to power a fancy multimedia
Desktop Environments like KDE. It served us well, but the future belongs to a
new Display Server called Wayland. ATM there's no stable release of Wayland,
but the following projects already announced plans to support Wayland: MeeGo,
Ubuntu, Fedora.

So taking KDE's migration time into account (HAL->udev, KDEPIM1->KDEPIM2) it's
not to early to open this bug report. Also i can't wait to get the flicker free
and tearingless rendering goodness everyone's promissing. ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login

Actual Results:  
Flickering X Legacy context switching madness

Expected Results:  
State-of-the-art no-tearing rendering goodness
