When using flash plugin 10 the use of "OverrideGPUValidation=true" in
the /etc/adobe/mms.cfg file fixed the problem. Though it does not fix
the problem on flash-plugin 11.
If the compiz window manager is used fullscreen playback works.
Any suggestions?
Sorry Jon,
Let me clarify that this Flash update was very much needed, even though
we go to another Beta. The problem is that the 64bit plugin (square
alpha) had lots of security issues. Undoubtedly this release will have
some too, but at least anything known is fixed in a more recent release.
Here's hoping Adobe will take care of 64bit platforms soon with proper
security updates...
I do not know if the IA-32 Linux version of this plugin is any better in
terms of security, but it does work. For this reason, I run the IA-32
versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, both current (release 5), by
installing whatever libraries these applications need, relying upon the
polymorphic compliance for both the IA-32 and X86-64 model of the Linux
(RHEL 6) loader as well as the CPU.
