Chromium and Flash doesn't work properly when using two screens...

I have two screens that I use in a "Separate X screen" mode and when I run Chromium on my first screen, then flash works ok.. But running Chromium on my second screen (where I run Chromium) then flash isn't working at all... Is this a known problem or? Any workarounds?

BTW, I am using 64bits Chromium and 32 bits Flash...

Regards,

BTJ

A bit more info about your hardware and X settings would probably be in order.

# nvidia-settings:  version 260.19.29  (mockbuild@hephaestus.wilsonet.com)  Thu Dec 16 04:43:59 EST 2010
