Bug Description

Hello,

I have a problem that has been bothering me for a long time now. All based flash-player video streamings (dailymotion , youtube, ....) are jerky when I display them in full screen. This problem seems to be recurrent in Ubuntu but I can't find the right solution.

Please rule out all of the following suggestions since I have already tried them :
1. disable compiz
2. install the latest ATI drivers (I have a X700 Mobility Radeon)
3. reinstall the latest flash player 9
4. tried another browser (Opera).

Any other ideas ?

I hope you guys have an answer for me because this glitch is driving me crazy.

Thank you in advance.

I'm having the same issue, I'm running Hardy Heron and I've got an nVidia GeForce graphics card. Videos play OK in youtube non-full-screen, and "Movie Player" can play back fullscreen OK. It's just Youtube + Fullscreen that is jerky.
