While "there" is makes sense to select "un-redirect full screen"..
This stops the composite effects manager interfering with the full
screen apps.
This then should prevent any redraw tearing problems.
If you are using nVidia VDPAU, that settings allows VDPAU to use video
overlay (preferred) instead of blitter.
Blitter method is not guaranteed tear free.
