Stephen, you have a fairly new graphics chipset (GM45) and the support
for that wasn't very good in the (now) old intel driver 2.2.1 that Hardy
(8.04) was shipped with. Actually, according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA the chipset was launched in July
2008, and Hardy was shipped in April 2008. With such recent hardware, I
can only recommend using the newer Ubuntu version 9.04 as a lot of work
has been done in the driver to support newer chipsets since last year.
Unfortunately, you can't use Jaunty's drivers in Hardy. This is because
the driver depends on newer versions of libdrm, mesa, and probably the
linux kernel and the xserver. If you change all of this, you basically
get a new distribution.
I'm closing this bug report (setting the status to Invalid) which does
not mean that you're not experiencing a real problem, only that it is a
problem we simply cannot solve.
To work around your problem, you may try a number of things. One thing is to
try if you can turn of "xv" or "XVideo" in the video player. You may also
disable it in xorg.conf with the line
Option "XVideo" "false"
in the "Device" section of your xorg.conf. You may try the forums or other the
"Answers" section on Launchpad to find other workarounds.
