Choppy video-sound

There is one more thing you can try, but it is not without risk, do a back up first if you need it as you may have to reinstall.

Open a terminal, do:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and add this:

Code:

Section "Device"
            Identifier "Intel Graphics"
            Driver "intel"
            Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

save, close and reboot.

That command opened a "notepad like" window. I pasted that stuff, saved and rebooted.

Nothing changed.

Then you are limited by your hardware, sorry.

Understood, thamks for you help.

Since that makes the machine unusable (the user really wants to see videos), could you suggest me a distro which could run better on such bad hardware to allow smooth video play?

I already tried lubuntu and it worked fine, except that wifi was totally broken.

If I may suggest something to try, it worked on my slow system:

Open VLC
Click on 'Media'
Click on "open Network Stream"
Paste the You-tube address
Press play

Hope it helps

Thank you but I settled for Lubuntu, apparently it's the only user friendly distro capable of supporting that Acer junk.

Anyway, Linux Lite is a very good Distro, I'll definetely keep an eye on the development.
