I know that i need to set the option "SwapbuffersWait" to false in X, but given that X11 doesn't require a xorg.conf file to be created anymore, where do i change this option so that when the xorg setup is automatically created it parses this command?
The only helpful information i have found on this topic comes from the Arch Wiki here - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In ... ce_results

At the moment I can't use LMDE on my machine because when it runs off battery power it flickers uncontrollably and i have spent some time searching for a solution and the only thing i can think of trying is to stop it from synchronising the rendering to the vertical refresh (which is enabled by default).To disable VSync just add in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf in Section "Device" string Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
