Flickering brightness when streaming?

Hello all.

When I play a video from Iplayer or youtube, my screen switches brightness up and down randomly. No idea why but its very annoying.

Im using 12.3, Firefox, AMD A6 2.1GHz, 8GB RAM, HD Radeon 7000 in a Samsung laptop.

If you need to know more then please ask.

Thanks you!

GNOME 3.6.2
openSUSE Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop

Thanks for the response!

Nope. Still flickering. :confused:

Its really weird because it seems to do it all the time now, in and out of video. Does it every 10 mins or so.

Regards.

I went into battery/ac settings and played about with times and stuff and it hasnt flickered since, so I think I might have fixed it. Thanks for your help!
