I'm seeing a lot of lag while attempting to view YouTube or Twitch videos, the sound is fine but the video stops until I move the mouse.

Scrolling a web page in Chrome stable (66.0.3359.139) is laggy when using the touchscreen, two-finger scroll on the touchpad seems fine.

Lenovo G500s - i5-3230M - Intel Ivybridge Mobile graphics - 6gb RAM

Upgraded from 17.10 via software updater, 17.10 had been a clean install with nothing extra installed as this is just an internet browsing laptop.

I found a post suggesting running these commands:

sudo apt install libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libdvd-pkg
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extra

These helped in that I just have to move the mouse 1 time to get the video to play whereas before I had to move the mouse every few seconds to have the video play.

display info:

sudo lshw -C display
[sudo] password for ubuntu: 
  *-display

Is there any other info that I can provide?
