In my case this turned out to be due to the fact that the open source radeon driver did not work and accelerate to the highest extent, and my machine is not supported on the latest ATI drivers, whereas the older ATI drivers do not support the new kernel and both can't be installed and used at all.
glxgears was running at arround 150 FPS I solved or better say helped this issue from being unbareable to becoming usable, by using xorg-edgers software update repository now glxgears runs at 1560 FPS and flash works ok. Graphics is still not up to the speed i had when using Windows XP and Windows 7, but it is much much better. Browser is still slugish on web sites with many flash regions, on such sites it seems 2-3 times slower than under windows, but it is not a huge problem now -- Youtube videos barely run. Have sound, beyond choppy video. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
