I have read that too. But let me tell you that is not quite true. They don't have to replace big chunks of software to fix a small bug. Vsync was and is supported since computing started. It is not something introduced with latest drivers and latest kernel. It is there. It just needs a fix to start working in current version. And I do not belive it would take much work to sort this out. Nokia is simply lying about this issue and users suffer from that.
