I guess if the maemo vsync issue isnt ever going to be fixed then the only thing will be for individual programs to try somehow to implement features that might reduce the screen tearing instead of get rid of it, if possible.. eg if lowering resolution etc made a difference. if not, and if maemo 6 is very similar to 5, then it would seem the problem wont be going away anytime soon, perhaps until maemo is completely replaced by something else. thanks
