ATI 6320 & flash

**Vicolaships** · August 29th, 2012

Hello everyone,

I can't get my HD Radeon 6320 work at its best with Ubuntu 12.04 I have a U32U-RX028V laptop.

I can't play flash content in 720p or 1080p, even 480p in fullscreen lag.
I've read this post : How to optimize Flash in Firefox but it did not work.
I installed the drivers following Ubuntu Documentation. I used Ubuntu repositories and I have enabled hardware acceleration.

--NO XORG.CONF--

High definition videos with VLC is perfect (1080p)
Browser is not very smooth and flash videos don't play smooth

Code:

fglrxinfo

300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.991 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.991 FPS

--WITH XORG.CONF--

Low definition videos with VLC lag a lot
Browser is very smooth but flash videos don't play smooth
The workspaces are bugged, I can't move an app to an other workspace

I generated the xorg.conf in Recovery mode using Xorg -configure
I get two errors :

(++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new"
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(II) [KMS] No DRICreatedPCIBusID symbol, no kernel modesetting.
Number of created sreens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.

This changed nothing :

What can I do to play flash videos with no lag ?
I hope someone will be so kind as to help me

**Vicolaships** · September 2nd, 2012

Read on cchtml.com :

Note that RadeonHD 6xx0 chips will need kernel 2.6.38 for open-source mode-setting, xf86-video-ati/radeon 6.14.0 for 2D acceleration (EXA/Xv), and Mesa 7.11 for 3D acceleration.

Is this my solution ? If yes, how to do this

Thanks

It's actually old news:

**Vicolaships** · September 2nd, 2012

I already tried the "OverrideGPUValidation=1" in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg file. No change

What a shame Ubuntu & ATI drivers & Flash don't work correctly !
I don't understand something, HTML5 is designed to replace Flash, yes ?

So why is it WORSE with HTML5 than Flash ?!?! (using Chromium on Youtube for example)

Thanks

**DrEameR86** · September 9th, 2012

Flash never worked fine in Linux, and AFAIK HTML5 is still a WIP project. You could download the flash video in h264 and play it using vlc with hardware acceleration on.

Also, don't pm people asking for help, that is what the forum is for.
