Hmmm .... just discovered some additional info about this issue. It
seems that it only happens when I use the LTS kernel. When I boot into
the main linux kernel, the issue mysteriously goes away.
Anyone have any ideas what might be happening here? What module in the
kernel might have an impact on video?
Thanks,

Anyone have any idea what's going on here and/or how to fix? This seems
to be a recent issue - i.e., probably caused by some package upgrade
within the past week or so.
I'm running google-talkplugin 3.14.17.0-1 with firefox 19.0-1. But I
don't think the issue is caused by the plugin itself. (Or by firefox,
since I see the same problem when I use Google chromium browser.) I was
running an older version of the plugin - which had been working fine for
weeks - when I started experiencing the issue. I upgraded to the latest
version in an attempt to work around the problem, but it didn't clear it
up. So as I said, I don't think the plugin itself is the cause of the
problem - since 2 different versions of the plugin are experiencing the
issue, and the issue popped up out of the blue after things had been
working fine for quite a while.
Any assistance anyone might be able to lend here would be much appreciated!
