It's the HWSync this syncs the redraws to the refresh rate of the display. This isn't on by default because it is unstable under Maemo, it can cause your GUI to hard-lock after a while (you'll still be able to SSH in if SSH is running and you're connected) forcing you to reboot. This affects my N900, but doesn't seem to affect everybody, so feel free to try it out, but it was disabled by default for good reason.

Been rock solid in my device since I installed it, with default PR1.3 and normal kernel. Am I correct if this mod is pretty much the same as vsync in PC games, so there is no longer tearing?

The only mod you'll ever need for silky smoothness on a PR 1.3 n900:

Code:
echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
See above line for technical explanation.

What are your configs in power-kernel? x MHz - y MHz? I run mine at constantly 850MHz, because hildon-desktop doesn't require a lot of resources, but when you force it to run at 850MHz, it runs super smooth. I used to have the same problem as you. When looking at system-info widget, I used to idle at 10%, now it's either 1% or 0%.

If you're using swappolube, I think it's already taken care of for you. In an xterm, run the following and see what you get:

Code:
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
It should output 30 or lower. If not, keep reading.

But if you weren't using swappolube, you would:

install rootsh
open an xterm
type root<return>
type echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness<return>

Making this reboot-proof is beyond this discussion, but I think swappolube handles that for you.

The problem is, some people just don't see the lags of UI. You can OC, change parameters via swaploube and so on (and it can be better), but it will never be the smooth like android / iOS / whatever...
