Hello all!
I recently migrated from Ubuntu 14.04 with Mate-Desktop to Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 and I’m having problems when playing video files (not audio. The audio of the video file always works fine). I didn’t have this problem with 14.04.
I’m using VLC player (although I tried using another video player and got the same problem) and when the window size is small the video plays fine without problems, but when i resize the window, playing gets slower. When the window uses all the screen or when the window exceeds certain size, video freezes.
It seems to be a driver issue. I’m getting this message in the Ubuntu-Mate “Welcome”:
“Sorry, Welcome was unable to automatically identify the graphics vendor on this system.

Thanks.
