Yep, that seems to have fixed the tearing! Thanks. At
https://askubuntu.com/questions/418398/tear-free-disabled-in-intel-graphics-tearing-in-xubuntu
it was suggested to use:
|Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option
"AccelMethod" "sna" Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection|
which is what I've put in for now.
