From 58cd1600057e41aade0106d4acf78e23eac6e44f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Michel=20D=C3=A4nzer?= Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2016 18:37:57 +0900 Subject: Allow toggling TearFree at runtime via output property Option "TearFree" now sets the default value of the output property. See the manpage update for details. TearFree is now enabled by default for outputs using rotation or other RandR transforms, and for RandR 1.4 slave outputs.
