flash 11.2 w/ nvidia card colors swapped [Solved] YMMV...

[ypell]

Hi there...

Given that the Adobe flash plugin for Linux is no longer supported, and not even working as it should, I would imagine that distros have been thinking about a supported replacement solution? The free software flash plugins don't seem to be quite ready for prime time, but are there other possibilities, like embedded in-browser vlc player? Sabayon having a philosophy of being ready-to-use, surely the Adobe player is now waiting to be kicked off the island?

The option EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 crashes flash when I attempt to use it. I have a radeon card. I have also tried to install and remove and that also fails. Any other ideas ?

thx

notzippy, are you using the open-source or the closed-source driver? If you're using the latter, in case it helps, here are the contents of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that I am using with the FGLRX driver for my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 GPU driving a laptop LCD panel (0-LVDS) and an external monitor (0-DFP1):

Thanks, But I am using the open source driver (my card is a 4870 so I had to switch because the newest catalyst no longer supports that card)

I found an easy solution after todays flash update right here.

After the updates the colors where back to normal till I rebooted.

Now in the link there are several solutions offered.

The easiest one it to right click on the video and open the display settings and disable hardware acceleration.
Restart the browser and the colors are back to normal

worked for me

But this disables the hardware acceleration too.

The best solution is to do an upgrade for libvdpau 0.5. It's shipping with 310 series of nVidia drivers (but it is a beta yet). It contains a workaround for this Flash's bug without any crashes or performance loss.
