Thanks for reminding about this, I too was still using the outdated 64-bit package from the PPA. Thought I’d already switched back to the official package a while ago but turns out I hadn’t.
I think ”Yet Another Ubuntu Derivative” shortens to YAUD, not YUAD.
I just filed a bug about this. Be sure to click the ’Does this bug affect you?’ link on top of the page to say ’Yes, it affects me’!
Binary package hint: fceux
Version 2.1.3 of FCEUX added netplay and a GUI to the SDL port, and since then even 2.1.4 has come out.
Complete changelogs for the releases are at http://fceux.com/web/pressrelease-2.1.3.html and http://fceux.com/web/pressrelease-2.1.4.html#.
Please package 2.1.4 for Ubuntu.
I just switched back to noveau and on a whim, tried disabling hardware acceleration from flash player’s settings (Right click -> Settings…) and lo and behold, fullscreen playback is now smooth again.
I have a system that’s affected by either this or #570164. I can verify that back in Karmic fullscreen playback of flash video on this system worked flawlessly. In addition, using the proprietary nvidia driver playback (now in Lucid) works fine, but the nv driver suffers from the stuttering too (the log I’m attaching is from the nv setup). I’d much prefer using the OSS drivers as the proprietary one has its own problems, but currently it’s the only way to go if I want fullscreen flash to work properly.
