** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: adobe-flashplugin
  
  I had to rewrite this report because my Browser was not sending referer
  header, that was pretty annoying.
  
- I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, and watching videos on any flash player and then trying to go full screen will cause the screen to go nuts.
- I don't think the issue is related to Xorg because the tty are affecteds as well and a reboot is needed (via a blindly typed `sudo reboot` in the tty, or more simply by unplugging the computer).

+ The image gets _really_ distorted rendering the system unusable.

  The issue appears as soon the proprietary ATI drivers are installed
- using the Ubuntu Additional Drivers application, though going full
- screen with the native (non proprietary) drivers causes strange blocks
- to appear sporadically on the video, without crashes at least.

  I'm attaching the video card and kernel information to the bug.
