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.
I currently have version 6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 of
xserver-xorg-video-ati installed.
