Have you done anything suggested in this thread to try to fix this?

sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/

I 've done this

sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/


The frozen fullscreen issue is solved.But the flash video quality is much reduced.I think poor video rendering right now compared to unfixed state.I have a ATI X1400 GPU in my E1505 dell notebook.During full screen flash video playing initially I had band of white lines running in the bottom of the screen on and off.Running flash totally eats up almost all of cpu.using chrome or latest minefield crawls thereafter.only closing the offending flash tab solves the cpu hog.

I had exactly the same problem, and that fix worked perfectly for me too. Thanks lovinglinux, and JakP

I was another with this same issue and the gma 4500mhd graphics. This worked for me as well. Much thanks!!!

You could try to undo that and disable Compiz.
