whenever i start to play a video in vlc (all formats) the monitor goes black for about half a second then returns back to the video, this is annoying since i never get to see the first part of the video (most often the very first part is important)
is this my hardware, did i install a proprietary hard ware driver that may be causing this because heres the only proprietary driver install on this machine
ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver

do i need to uninstall it because i know that the monitor is fine, it has worked well in previous versions of ubuntu so why is it doing this now
this has been happening since the upgrade to lucid lynx but its now starting to get annoying and i have tolerated to way too long now i'm tired of it
