Completely useless, since, as usual, it is x86 only. Not amd64.

As a reminder the old bugs free Adobe Flash 10.1 can be downloaded here.

I've just had another crash/hang/freeze when I tried to maximize youtube Flash video:

[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

Oh, well, i have an USB keyboard from them and I got this too, there is no fix and only a workaround: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...4&postcount=58
I don't actually know what my system was doing when these happened but i tend to watch a lot of youtube videos ( aka Flash based things ) so i won't exclude some sort of Flash-evdev bad interaction.

Answering the other thread: Google Chrome uses a special flash version which doesn't have any sort of video acceleration ... and I can reproduce this problem with Opera 11.10 too. So this overlay issue is not specific to any browser, it's specific to Adobe Flash and NVIDIA drivers combination.

Ok, interesting that you see it in Opera too, and since I only use Opera i do remember an alpha/beta version that had this but it was fixed.

Here is the overlay problem in its glory.

Well... in openSUSE this happens with rpm version, but with the tar.gz version (downloaded from adobe's website) the video works good.

For example, In openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64):

# zypper rm flash-player pullin-flash-player

$ tar xzvf flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz

# cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/

# chmod 775 /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so

Note: My system is 64 bits, so in 32 bits (x86) I haven' t tried

You are using an extremely outdated Flash release, which doesn't support/use any acceleration. Even more your flash release contains a lot of (security) vulnerabilities, its usage is unsafe and not recommended.
