I've tested and confirmed cworth's workaround patch to disable frame
buffer compression on 965. Videos are watchable with this patch.
I've uploaded the patch and will notify the release team to let it
through.
Changes:
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.4.1-1ubuntu9) hardy; urgency=low
.
* 27_disable_fbc_on_965.patch:
- Works around issue where flash videos freeze after playing for a few
moments on i965 chipset, by disabling Frame Buffer Compression, which
is not working reliably on this chipset. It can be re-enabled via the
FrameBufferCompression option for testing purposes.
