@davidcaste, your workaround works for me, Thanks a bunch for posting it!! (Doesn't Work)Previously my xorg.conf showed: Virtual 2048 2048
Now it's set as you said to: Virtual 2880 900 and I can play videos. When I first changed the setting, I thought the screen resolution for my dual monitor configuration was going to suffer, but it didn't. The resolutions for my monitors are as follows: 1280x1024 Planar 19" lcd monitor 1400x1050 hp Compaq nc6320 lcd screen Right On. That just made my day. Ubuntu is awesome! Freedom and GNU/Linux is awesome!!
