I also have encountered freezes with fullscreen flash video playback (I

encounter those freezes when using compositing. Thus I simply added a
"xcompmgr &" to my .xinitrc. I don't know if it helps with other setups.
I thought this problem was kinda unique to my setup.
Thanks for the tip! I just tried it and it's a fine now, on my machine
with the 945GME. (My other machine doesn't have Linux installed as of
last night.)
Aint progress wonderful, eh? You'll always need more, just to stay in
the same place. No wonder nature has forest fires and other disasters.
For what it's worth, I've never had compositing enabled and
still no problem.

The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure
thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating
by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so
flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of
realizing grand conceptual structures.
