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.

Re: Choppy video-sound - alex1984 - 09-22-2014

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.

Re: Choppy video-sound - Alex - 09-22-2014

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.
