Oops, please switch "Actual" and "Expected" results above. I cannot reproduce this, flash works just fine here with compiz. What hardware / driver are you using? -- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 -- xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-4.fc13 (i686) Same here: -Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) -xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.fc13.x86_64 Flash plugin is running using nspluginwrapper (latest version, if needed, i will look it up).

(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #2) > > I cannot reproduce this, flash works just fine here with compiz. > > You checked fullscreen playback? Yes, I manged to reproduce it now. The reason why it was working fine for me was that I forced it to use hw accel. Please try the following: mkdir -p /etc/adobe echo "OverrideGPUValidation=1" > /etc/adobe/mms.cfg Make sure to close all firefox / npviewer.bin processes and try again. Does this fix your issue?

I think this fix will only work with Intel graphic chipsets due to the problems related with ATI&NVIDIA-drivers. Maybe somebody may try this with an ATI/NVIDIA-adapter.

No sure what you are talking about here, the problem is that for some reasons the software path does not trigger damage events which results into compiz not redrawing because it does not _know_ that it is supposed too. The OpenGL path works which I would recommend for power efficiency and performance reasons anyway. So please stop the hand weaving "it might not work due to some problems". Anyway this is a flash bug, that Adobe should fix, I am just waiting for someone else to confirm that enabling OpenGL for flash (using the config file I mentioned above) fixes it. The fix recommended in comment #6 fixes the issue for me. Thanks a bunch! (In reply to comment #9) > The fix recommended in comment #6 fixes the issue for me. Thanks a bunch! OK, thanks for testing ... that confirms that it is a flash bug that I can't fix unless Adobe sends me the source; so closing.

Thank you. It works for me, too on X86_64. My previous post was not meant to blame you for anything; anyway, thanks for the workaround. AG, at your convenience, do you think you could file a bug report at http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/? I suspect you'll be able to provide better information than I can.

Filed http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-4993 This is great, thanks! info from comment #6 helps here. will this file somehow be delivered as an update, i think there are a lot of people suffering from this ... Just from the pragmatic point of view ... Same problem here with 64 bit F13. I tried the work around it fixes the problem for me. Hi All, Thanks for all the help on this bug. I tried the above described fix. It did not work for me. I am running fc13 on my Alienware M11x. I am used to Ubuntu although I switched to Fedora recently as Ubuntu requires the bios graphics setting on my notebook to be set to discrete (with nvidia drivers installed for compiz). I am currently running compiz with the nouveau driver. I do not know how to check which driver the kernel is using as both xorg-intel driver as well as nouveau nvidia-driver are installed on my box. What did work for me was when I turned the indirect rendering option on using the compiz fusion icon. I don't know why this works. But I just thought it might be useful to let you guys know. Thanks. Anyone else find fullscreen Flash *does* work with xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.12.0-1.fc13.x86_64, even without the mms.cfg hack? James where did you get the intel 2.12 from? I do not even see it at <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/intel> yet ... (In reply to comment #19) > James where did you get the intel 2.12 from? I do not even see it at > <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/intel> yet ... http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=179735 yes, I can confirm that the intel update makes the workarround unnecessary. Btw. the driver update is really great!! This is the first time with F13 I can now switch to my external monitor. Hopefully this will go into updates soon. (In reply to comment #21) > yes, I can confirm that the intel update makes the workarround unnecessary. But you want the "workaround" anyway (as I pointed out above it has other benefits than just "fixing" this bug). (In reply to comment #18) > Anyone else find fullscreen Flash *does* work with > xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.12.0-1.fc13.x86_64, even without the mms.cfg hack? I can confirm that. And, indeed, I can feel the performance increase! *** Bug 624425 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** with 2.12.0-1.fc13 running on Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, full-screen flash (youtube) + desktop effects still freezes/doesn't play. disabling desktop effects makes flash full screen work. the work-around in comment #6 makes it work with desktop effects enabled. Excelente bajo Fedora 13 32 bits me funciono lo posteado en el comentario Nº6 lo probé bajo Opera 10.62 y Firefox 3.6.7 en un ThinkPad r61 Gracias The fix in comment #6 worked a treat! fix in comment#6 works great for me! fedora 14 x64. 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP |
