Public bug reported: After having used Ubuntu 10.04 for quite a while without problems I recently installed 12.04. Unfortunately, I found that the graphics output performance has gotten worse. The first thing I noted was that the Unity desktop was too slow, so I switched to "Gnome classic (no effects)". This works reasonable, but then I noted that it is almost impossible to play videos. With 10.04 it was generally no problem to play videos (apart for HD) but now even videos with size 640x480 either get stuck or flicker like hell (depending on the player I use). It seems that the support of the radeon driver for my old Radeon 7000 card has gotten worse. I already tried booting with "radeon.modeset=1" or setting RenderAccel "off" in the xorg.conf, but this didn't help.
