Bug Description

The video is flickering. No matter which media player or file format is used. Must be connected with the codec. Elisa media center is working properly.
Also the visualization of music is flickering. Maybe a bug connected with the video card. Using Sapphire Radeon HD2600XT with ATI-Driver

Is this happens with compiz activated?
Do you use proprietary driver?

I dont' really know what you mean. But a few days ago, I daectivated the "Visuelle Effekte"(I've got a German version, must be something similar) in "System->Erscheinungsbild"(Something like "Appearance") and now there is no more flickering. It's a pitty but unlikely I don't know another way to solve the problem.

And: Yes, it is a propietary driver but it is tested by Ubuntu developers
