the behavior is the same as in bug #22936, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22936 if I set both monitors with the same height, it stops happening.
Comment 6 Jesse Barnes 2009-10-05 10:57:01 UTC
Is it video playback that tears?  Or GL applications?  Does the "swapbufferswait" option help at all?

There are some limitations to our vsync'd drawing:
  - vsync will only occur on the head where most of the window contents are 
    displayed
  - for cloned modes, the first CRTC (pipe 0) will be used unless the xvpipe attr 
    is set to specify another

Maybe you're running into one of those issues?

Marking invalid.  Please re-open if you have time to check this out again (mainly the questions from comment #6).
