[arch-general] flash full screen under FF5 and arch64

2011-07-02 Thread Benjamin Sambale

Dear arch users,

I'm using arch linux x86_64 (kernel 2.6.38), Firefox 5.0 and the Adobe 
Flash Plugin 10.3.162.29 64bit support (according to 
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/). My problem is that I can 
view flash videos in Firefox in normal mode, but in full screen mode the 
videos slow down (and the CPU usage rises much). A half year ago 
everything worked fine, but after some updates it won't work anymore. I 
also tried a kernel/firefox downgrade without success. I suspect that it 
has to do with the hardware acceleration settings in the flash menu 
(right click on flash video). Here hardware acceleration is enabled and 
I can't disable it, since the mouse and keyboard simple don't work on 
the flash settings menu.


Is there another way to disable hardware acceleration? Or any other hints?

Thanks,
Benjamin

Problem solved, sorry for the noise.

In case one is interested in the solution: The flash setting menu only 
works in full screen mode! Then it is possible to untick the box 
hardware acceleration. After that everything works.
