Generically, I've been trying to disable HW Accel but it hasn't fixed the problem I'm seeing. I've tried EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0 along with AVHardwareDisable = 1 and OverrideGPUValidation=0 or OverrideGPUValidation=1 which I don't think have anything to do with this, but I tried it anyway. No luck with those. Flash still crashes and I see this in dmesg: [25443.454436] plugin-containe[5665]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f2a356441c5 sp 00007fff04e606e0 error 4 in libmozalloc.so[7f2a35643000+2000] [25446.424259] plugin-containe[7029]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f4690ef21c5 sp 00007fff788f1390 error 4 in libmozalloc.so[7f4690ef1000+2000] Most all of the references I find on the web have you turn off acceleration using a click box in Flash, but my Flash crashes so I have no GUI at all. With respect to 11.1, I suspect that's what I was running earlier but it's no longer in portage on any of my systems and I'm not finding it in any overlay. Thanks, I'll keep trying. Cheers, Mark
