Yeah, that's pretty similar to mine.
Lost my SSH session to inara (inara and kaylee are the two systems

The nouveau suggestion isn't where I want to go with my machines and I'm just not finding any solutions on the web yet. Anyway, there was at the time a newer (IIRC) or possibly slightly older (IIDRC) Flash ebuild but it's been removed from portage. That one worked for me. There is a newer version (11.2.202.233) listed on the Adobe Flash site but I haven't found info on what it corrects. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Flash 11.2 added some new kind of hardware acceleration which apparently doesn't work properly for whatever reason. Disable HW acceleration in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and cross your fingers... or downgrade to 11.1. I did not find any tag in that file, which allows to disable hardeware acceleration. Or did I miss one? EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0 maybe it's not in the default file... mine has been changed a lot :) it was mentioned in the flash player release notes. You can also right-click on a non-crashing clash object and change the settings using GUI, disabling the acceleration is in there, too. This does not work for me. The Clash player still starts with hardware accel enabled and give me that nice LSD-colored impressions... ;( Is there any other way to prevent the need of clicking this dialog? And why adobe stops the linux-support? Best regards, mcc
