Doesn't Google bundle a version of flash with their browser? Or is that something that's coming in the future? I had flash crashing a lot on my machine, and just disabled hardware acceleration in the settings to fix it. Alecks Gates, sent from Android on an HTC G2 On May 6, 2012 10:28 AM, Mark

2012-04-11 Thread Alecks Gates
The only reason I really use nvidia-drivers is because of VDPAU. Otherwise I can't watch HD videos on my media center. VDPAU works great, and I hope nouveau supports it or something equivalent eventually. Mythtv probably uses it, though that's just a guess. Alecks Gates, sent from Android
