Proposed fixed the issue of compiz crashing on my machine (Dell Latitude e5410). Thanks for that. But there is now an issue with video playback on VLC media player (ver 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4). The video hangs every few seconds. It is only an issue with VLC though as video playback works fine on other media apps. Tried reinstalling VLC and it still doesn't work.

I was wondering if others are experiencing the same thing?
