the usual 1.2 way of enabling Vsync is not working since mac os x 10.6 came out
i don't know if it's a driver issue but just writing

    SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL, 1);

has no effect and a lot of tearing happens when using a gl context.
We found out the fix code in some python game in which they used

one := 1;
CGLSetParameter(CGLGetCurrentContext(), 222, @one);

to workaround it. Above code is in pascal and links agains the OpenGL library.
With this fix tearing never occurs under any mac version; i have untested if the problem also affects sdl 1.3, might be worth to try it.

This is working correctly in SDL 1.3.

but isn't it worth to fix this bug in the sdl 1.2 branch?

Yes, but I won't have time to get to it for a while. :)

Is the concern that 1.2 isn't setting vsync at all, or it doesn't set vsync until you call SDL_SetVideoMode() again?

1.3 lets you toggle vsync on an existing context, 1.2 needs you to specify vsync preferences before setting the video mode.

(it's working here on Lion, fwiw: run test/testgl -sync, and you can see.)

oh my bad, i was enabling SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL after creating the window
when enabled before, it works fine! thanks for pointing it out
