The same issue here with Dell Inspiron 1525, have not find a fix jet
fixed the issue for me too with firefox and chromium on a Dell Latittude E5410 with Intel HD Graphics.sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/
the CPU has now a workload of 25% to 30% for all four CPU Threads (Core i5-520M), when playing a flash movie on youtube.
So this fix seems to be no solution for slower CPU's...

To be free means to be responsible, too.
After I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 I started to have the same issue: frozen screen but audio going when watching falsh videos fullscreen.
The suggested workaround
fixed the problem for me. I'm running ubuntu on a HP pavillion dv6500 laptop.sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/
Thanks a lot.
This trick worked for my HP Media Centre PC m7060n with Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 32 bit Desktop Edition
Overriding GPU validation
If the above trick does not work, here’s what you can do:
Open a terminal and type the following command:
sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/
Start your browser and play the video in full screen. It should work now.
I then right clicked the video in Youtube and
re-enabled hardware acceleration
and now I have full screen video.

for pointing the required solution to my dilemma.
I tried that trick but the effect was negligible. The only thing that works on my rather modest machine (2GH cpu, 1 G of ram) is to do away with flash altogether if I want to watch 720p.
If you use FireFox Lovinglinux's flashvideoreplacer absolutely rocks (at least on machines with >=1G of ram. I am still trying to get mplayer to play 720p with 512M of ram ). Otherwise you can install minitube which is also excellent. Both work well even with Compiz on!

I am going to ask here, as my previous request in a different thread hasn't been answered.
I have Mint 10 64bit upgraded to the DVD version. I haven't been able to play YouTube normally yet. Compiz is on, but I have it on on Mint 9 and YouTube works fine. (Same laptop)
I can click on the invisible full screen button and watch it in full screen but no dice on normal.
Ne1?
I was facing similar issues but I got the choppy videos only once I resumed after suspending my laptop. I was able to get fullscreen flash to work correctly after executing these commands mentioned in this same thread:
Code:sudo mkdir /etc/adobe echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/
