I've had talked with the Mesa developers. There are saying that "client glx vendor string" is the name of the author of the GLX layer. SGI is shown here as Silicon Graphics played an important role in OpenGL standardization. Plus, they explained me that NVIDIA provides their own GLX layer and this is why it says NVIDIA. Everyone else uses the GLX initially made by SGI.
Thus making it obvious that Adobe didn't even try Flash Player for linux running with an ATI card and the fglrx drivers. Nor any other card than NVIDIA ones. So this is not an ATI problem. It's really up to Adobe (that we already knew). Here's the thread of what has been exchanged regarding that client glx vendor string: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mesa3d- dev&max_rows=25&style=ultimate&viewmonth=200807&viewday=25 Mean while, I'll try hacking the GLX to have the string changed (from the link above, the Mesa devs show where is the file to hack). HTH.
