[Bug 346289] Re: Choppy Flash playback in full screen.

Thought I'd add in an observation: With Karmic, if I play a flash video in fullscreen, it starts off playing just fine (e.g., youtube). BUT...if I move the mouse, that's when it gets choppy. If I stop moving the mouse, it will usually resume playing properly. If I move the mouse and stop a few

I can't say the same. I get high load counts in Ubuntu Gutsy on my Toshiba with a Seagate Momentus. On a fresh install, either plugged in or unplugged (I never saw any change in the count) I'm getting about one every 10 seconds to 1 minute. Under Windows XP, I'm seeing like 2 to 4 per hour;

I don't understand the argument that this is only on batteries. I generally have my laptop plugged in, and my counts are increasing astronomically (the once every 5-6 seconds thing). It doesn't seem to make a difference whether it's plugged in or not. I'm switching back to Windows until this is

This bug has been solved with the 2.6.22 kernel in all the distros I've tried that had the problem before. So if you are using any kernel that is older than that (gutsy is the first to carry it in the ubuntu line), then you are still going to experience the problem. AFAIK, no backporting was
