Official support for Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" and Ubuntu 11.10
"Oneiric Ocelot" has ended.  bosha, Tommy_CZ and anyone else still
experiencing this on Ubuntu  12.04, 14.04 or 14.10 - please run ubuntu-
bug to file a new bug report so that we can get a fresh set of system
logs and some hardware info.

Please note that the open-source radeon driver performance on recent AMD
Radeon chips has improved a lot since Ubuntu 12.04.  Test results for
Tommy_CZ's Radeon HD 6310 (albeit coupled with a different CPU) can be
viewed at
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_fusion_dpmsb -
compare the "Ubuntu 13.04 - Stock" numbers with the "Linux 3.11 DPM" and
"Linux 3.11 DPM + Mesa Git" numbers.  Since this article was written,
dynamic power management (DPM) has been enabled by default and further
refined.  Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" is based on the Linux 3.13 kernel.

Title:
  Really slow and choppy fullscreen Flash videos in Ubuntu 11.10

Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  My PC specs:

  - Processor: Core i7 860
  - Mother: Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3
  - Ram: 4GB G-Skill 1333
  - Video: PCie Sapphire ATi HD 4890 Installed propietary drivers.

  glxinfo
  OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
  OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
  OpenGL version string: 3.3.11005 Compatibility Profile Context
  OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30
  OpenGL extensions:

  Problem: When try to view fullscreen YouTube videos (or any other
  flash video like cuevana.tv) the video is almost unplayable, really
  slow and choppy.

  The funny thing is that right beside this box, I have a Code2Quad with
  Asus p5qc mobo 2gb ram 1066 and the same ATi video card, with same
  Ubuntu setup, propietary drivers and ubuntu 11.10) and the videos play
  just fine!

  Any ideas?

  Thanks a lot!
