However, there was a major disappointment. Flash videos, or nearly any video, would cause my screen to whack out and show strips of what should be the video all over the place. I searched this problem for over the past year, off and on, not really looking into it that bad. This is my backup laptop that I use for school.

However, yesterday I finally discovered the solution. It is listed as a Common F11 bug, but I never saw it on the list before; or I was looking in the wrong area. Point being, I searched this buggy ass problem for too damn long before a straight forward answer came up.

I followed the instructions, created my xorg.conf using the system-config-display –noui command, edited the xorg.conf as specified. Rebooted up my machine and headed over to YouTube. It worked! Aside from the fact this computers memory is a bit shot and needs an upgrade, the video played fine.

Hopefully this is a straight forward answer for anyone with the same problem.
