I'm going to source the comment Diego talked about ( http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html#comment-720076111 ), as it might be helpful to others looking at this bug:

Apparently it is a problem with the open source ATI driver.

Downgrading to X.org 1.12 and installing fglrx-legacy with patches for kernel 3.5.

I haven't noticed any issues with UNITY or any other unintended consequences just greatly improved Video, HDMI (audio), and the ability to tweak the video settings again with AMDCCC. AND THE BEST PART..........NETFLIX WORKS!!!!!!!

Thanks again Erich!

Type the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy
