Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-08-09 17:50:11 UTC 
FreeBSD-11.0-BETA4-amd64-memstick.img on an 
HP EliteBook 8540p notebook with UEFI enabled.

Immediately after the loader, the GUI is torn. After a while there appears a torn chunk of red towards the top of the screen.

I no longer use that type of notebook (with NVIDIA), and I don't expect to find an opportunity to test with the same hardware anywhere in the near future. 

I do have tearing with UEFI (without CSM) with Radeon hardware in an EliteBook 8570p, but it's visually different from the 2016 photograph of the bug with NVIDIA.

Let's close this with an assumption that with a supported release, it's no longer an issue.
