Many Linux users have cited Wayland’s forced vsync as a blocker for gaming related scenarios. This patch adds tearing support into Xwayland!

I know this might sound sumb to some. But I have a freesync monitor, so as long as I stay within my freesync range, I should still be completely tear free, even with V-sync disabled, right?
I found out yesterday that Wayland + VVR = laggy cursor in games
I’m on KDE and setting software cursor via KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 fixed that for me in games like PoE where the cursor began to lag heavily if there are fps drops from like 144 to 90. If you need hardware cursor KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1 should also help.
I am not sure as I’ve never used VRR on Wayland with an AMD GPU before, but that does sound like how its supposed to work. That’s what I do with my Nvidia card when using Gsync or Freesync in X11.
