Hello, I don't really know if this is a Mesa issue or a ATI issue. Here is goes:
I'm trying to benefit from Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 (and above) capabilities for fullscreen hardware rendering. Adobe's blog[1] explains the following: """ Also, for fullscreen OpenGL acceleration, the Flash Player requires that the client glx vendor string be something besides "SGI". Official drivers from, e.g., ATI and Nvidia hopefully do not have "SGI" in this field (check the 'glxinfo' command, for this string and for the extensions listed above). """ glxinfo | grep "client glx vendor" outputs: client glx vendor string: SGI So I made a fresh new install on my test PC, and decided to install ATI's driver directly from their web site (rather than ubuntu's restricted modules version), hoping that "glxinfo" would output something else than SGI. But I get the exact same data from "glxinfo". I'm using an ATI X1250 card (embedded in an Asus AMD motherboard). This pretty much means that *all* ATI users don't have fullscreen hardware acceleration with Flash. NVIDIA users seem to have something besides SGI. I've already sent a mail to the ATI linux drivers team... I'm using the distro's latest updates running mesa 7.0.3~rc2.
