I'm now quite certain that there are two separate bugs involved here:
1) Flashplayer in fullscreen causes a hard lockup: entire machine falls over,
no ping response, if audio was playing, it loops at the hardware buffer size;
only a powercycle clears the problem...
which is FIXED by upgrading to the 2.6.34.4 kernel, and is the subject of all
three bugs which were marked as dupes of this -- but is *not* the subject of
this actual bug, based on the original report, and
2) Flashplayer in fullscreen freezes X; the audio from the video keeps playing
continuously, not in a loop, but the video freezes, and (in some cases) the
user can switch to a text console--possibly only once--and kill X without
having to reboot. This latter description is pretty clearly the actual bug
here on 620157, and if you read all 4 descriptions, you can see that the other
three are *not* this particular failing.
Stefan: what's the best solution to this? Close '157, and open a new bug for
the X-only hang? Or keep this one open, since the kernel upgrade does not
reliably fix the X-hang? (and my apologies, I haven't gotten an X upgrade done
on my machine yet to see if doing so fixes the X-hang)
