Choppy Flash playback in full screen [Ubuntu/Linux]

Try these commands:

sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/

Restart the browser.

If that doesn't work, then right-click the flash video, select "Settings", then untick the option "Enable hardware acceleration".

Wow! That actually made a difference! Why don't they do that by default? The fullscreen lag is completely gone! Thanks a lot for sharing!
