Bug Description
Trying to see full-screen videos at Youtube or at news sites, etc., the problem it's that all the videos have a very, VERY slow frame rate, it simply can't be viewed normally... Annoying. Also, just scrolling windows in Ubuntu 8.10 (and in previous versions), sometimes it lags behind the mouse, stop and walk repeatedly, somewhat just spoiling the user experience in this OS.
Yes, my Video Card is a Radeon 9200 / 9250 of 125mb and I know that ATI not longer supports its drivers for the X-Org version that Ubuntu currently uses, only until X-Org 7.1. So EnvyNG is not useful in my case.
My hardware specs: Processor: AMD 2800+, Videocard: ATI Radeon 9200 of 125 MB, Memory: 768MB of RAM.
In Windows XP the videocard it's fast enough to see anything seamlessly. However, in Mandriva One 2009 as well as in openSUSE 11... Well, too!!
Before uninstalling openSUSE 11 (because rpm is -far- behind deb specially when installing binaries not from repositories and sometimes even so) I did see the videos in openSUSE 11 at full-screen as fast as like in Windows. Nice! The whole OS runs seamlessly, without any lag. This OS recognizes the maker and exact model of my video card, which otherwise it's a quite common videocard.
Then, I've also tried Mandriva One 2009 and (even just from a Live-CD session, without installing it!) I also can see the YouTube videos at full screen at normal FPS then without lagging at all other windows, also.
If openSUSE and Mandriva are indeed shipping with full videocard drivers support, I wonder if Ubuntu can do the same asap.. It would be really nice for the users and evidently, it's feasible as these other open Linux distros are doing it already.
With Ubuntu having just this, it easily would be the best choice, and not only regarding Linux based OSes.

Which driver do you use ?
Please give the result of fglrxinfo.
Can you try to set the output of the video as 'W windows (without Xv)' in gstreamer- properties?
