Sorry, just one thing more. If you look at my description, that it's a complex problem, and what the chromium bug says is not completely right.
I was able to use my GPU with chromium dev version (with a plugin to force youtube to h264) and the flickering didn't disappear. I think the problem is two-sided, one, why ubuntu installed nvidia driver onto a non-nvidia machine. Second why I feel that inactivity causes the flickering issues? It was a nightmare also that the system- udev didn't realize that the nvidia driver would like to crap my amd card. (and seriously almost killed half of my laptop monitor with that lines (i saw what you can on a very old crap monitor)) To me, it seemed regarding what the mouse move felt when the playback just stopped for seconds, that like reloading whole driver or renewing wifi periodically which did happen exactly in syslog. Some has been solved some of them not. So even if the chromium bug is definitely there I would reconsider that the problem is really related to what you have established. I think it's 3-4 more issues combined, and that's why I have commented a lot. I just tried to resolve the problems individually. My feeling is that while playing video is simply reloading my driver because of inactivity, and that's why even the mouse movement stuck for a moment.
