Youtube on T4x

[TPFanatic]

I found that Youtube (Firefox 64 bit) playback improved on my T500 when I disabled browser hardware acceleration. I think by default it tries to use the GPU but neither GMA 4500 nor Radeon 3650 can decode modern codecs. The CPU on the other hand is powerful enough.

My T43 with Lubuntu17.10 plays YT video 480p quite ok in Firefox, as long as I dont fullscreen it.

I just couldn't resist

And the one about that trackpoint names!

im on ATI 9600 64mb ram with chromium installed on linux. it has full hardware acceleration and easily does 720p full screen on youtube in the browser. it even runs 1080p in the browser on YT but isnt as smooth.

check your hardware acceleration using "chrome://gpu" in the address bar.

This is what it looks like
