Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Flash videos are very laggy, especially in full screen mode. This happens after installing flash 10 plugin for firefox on ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, in addition to kubuntu 9.04 and xubuntu 9.04. I am using a common 5 year old hp pavillion a465w desktop pc with a standard vga adapter and a VIA unichrome video card. Please fix this bug because it is the only thing holding me back from switching from windows to linux. Thanks - Adam
P.S. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration and adjusting the resolution and neither attempt fixed the problem.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you please post the results of the following command run in a terminal?
lshw -C video
That will show us which video card you have. You might need a different graphics driver to achieve smooth video.
