No comments about powervr, but 4.2008.36-5 diablo software update had introduced fixes for tearing problems in the omapfb kernel driver.

Of course if we can use a lower resolution tearfree rgb then we are in business.
You can even have full 800x480 resolution tearfree rgb, but CPU has to run at 400MHz for that (RFBI speed also depends on CPU speed via some multipliers). When running at 330MHz, screen updates are not fast enough for full resolution rgb updates, but lower resolution screen updates should be ok.
