My netbook happens to have the same graphics as yours, and I too get a bit of tearing when using GNOME 3 with Mutter/Metacity.
But honestly, I've never been able to get "tear-free" Linux. Ever. Even on my desktop, I still get tearing. It's ridiculous that most compositors don't let you just manually enter a refresh rate.

You can try ( you can remove it later when the change is no effect):
add line :
save and reboot.
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/environment
Code: Select all
CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling

My netbook never had tearing problems with Mint 9. But I wanted something lighter and newer, so that's why I've installed mint maya xfce. It is better but tearing is the problem
