With the latest version of Adobe flash player 11.2 I have all colors in videos (for example in YouTube) inverted. Once the version reverted to 11.1 the problem disappears.

Known problem with Flash 11.2, hardware acceleration and the binary NVidia driver.

I suggest to consider to include the 11.1 version in openSUSE instead of 11.2. That would mean knowingly exposing openSUSE users to a growing

collection of security risks. Would be better to not provide Flash at all, which I think is also the wrong way to go.

That said, disabling hardware acceleration in Flash or using the (openSUSE default!) nouveau driver fixes the problem as well, AFAIK.

With Nouveau I get a plain greeen screen and frequent crashes so that doesn't solve it at least for me.\ Disabling acceleration does indeed solve the problem, tnx for that pointer :D

Better to set the h/w acceleration option to off by default with openSUSE12.2 than to include an outdated Flash player.

As noted, the bug doesn't happen with nouveau, which is what 12.2 has as default for nVidia, so people that encounter the bug should definitely make the connection to the binary driver they just installed.

Many people update the system from previous releases as I do rather than install anew. They will just notice that something that worked well became broken. For me for example it became broken when I installed the new flash plugin from the updates repository. Any connection to nvidia drivers is unevident in this case. But even is such connection is established, switching to noveau is not an option because it has no 3D acceleration which is required by many games and other software.

Killing h/w accel by default would be bad, IMO. It would hurt everyone else, too, not just nVidia users.

I don't actually see any performance difference at all (other than the scrambled colors with nVidia) between h/w acceleration on or off on any system I've got (including low end Atom based netbooks with crappy Intel video cards).

neither do i notice any difference, but then i don't play 3D games much, except foobillard, and that rarely. disabling HW acceleration for flash, by right-clicking on the flash thingy, disables it systemwide, for all applications? i thought only for adobe flash, leaving other app.s unaffected. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

This page includes some workarounds for the issue: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=177380 One is as follows: === Here's another fix for issues 1 and 2 (it also includes GPU offloading of H.264 decoding): 1) export VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1 2) Create /etc/adobe/mms.cfg file and put this text into it: Code: EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 === I think this should not affect non-nvidia users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

UPDATE. It seems the problem with wrong colors may be fixed by just creating a file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg with the content: EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 This does not disable any acceleration but makes the colors correct! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Confirmed here... works fine on all testing I've done.

If it works for non-nvidia, it can be made part of the flash package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

@Ilya: I should have been more precisely, for me the mms.cfg-fix includes the "export VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1". Also I meant it runs unstable, not that it is not executing. And no, flash crashes with cromium also.. Zitat von C :

And.. I'm seeing crashes now using mms.cfg, but only with Firefox... with Chromium it's not crashing (yes, testing Flash content not HTML5).

Unfortunately not for me. Setting VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY or not makes no difference in crashing behaviour. - If you leave everything at default, ?only? youtube has this avatar-style. - If you turn off hw-accel in flash the color is right and flash runs as stable as usual. Didn't recognize performance loss so far. - Using mms.cfg fix with or without VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY flash crashes. Hardly on youtube, but on other sites, strangely (just watch big movie and pause it, sometimes, but thats unpredictable and not clearly) My current workaround: activate http://www.youtube.com/html5 and for those vids without html5 output disable hw-accel. Unfortunately I have no good solution at hand. (When I remember how long it took to fix this stupid flash+twinview+fullscreen bug... the script forwarding fake window size to flash is now older than 3 years. With 11.2 is was fixed and introduced promotion to avatar ;) *yay*) Zitat von Ilya Chernykh :

What if you remove this line and only leave EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 ?
