I found on arch linux wiki a solution (or a work-around). The trick is to
disable compositing. Since xbmc is running on a stand-alone PC, this is not a
problem for me.

For the record, this snippet added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf removes the tearing
issue:


Section "Extensions"
   Option         "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection



All the best
