I am having this problem as well.  Seeing it in various KDE applications and its very noticeable when using mc in a terminal.

I tried exporting the variable, it made no difference:
Code: [Select]
export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965
I set it in /etc/profile, tried it in /etc/local.d/mesa.start, and set it directly in a terminal before start mc (in that terminal); nothing worked.

I also tried the file settings in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf, as suggested in the bug report at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/2721
This made no difference.

Next is to downgrade back to mesa 19.

What window manager are you using? Are you using a compositor?

Using SDDM with Plasma.

Plasma compositor is disabled in monitor config.

I even tried setting the env variable from a console, then manually starting SDDM (to ensure the env variable is set), and still made no difference.

Any particular reason to not use the compositor? If you enable it, it should fix it.

I have always disabled the compositor, I dont use any effects and have no need for it.  I guess now I have a need for it!  I enabled it and you are correct- it fixed the tearing problem.  Thanks!
