SOLVED: Adobe Flash is Broken for Intel 82845G; driver=i915

I'm posting this for future reference to others with similar issues since there is only fragmented info out there on how to solve this.

Here is what worked for me to correct the distortion in flash where audio works fine, but graphics are smaller than normal and predominately pinkish-purple and green in color.

First, a screenshot of how it appears (I had already turned off hardware acceleration via both the flash settings dialog box and in firefox options, neither of which solved the problem):

The solution was to use the uxa with hardware acceleration turned off:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Card0"
 Driver "Intel"
 Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
 Option "NoAccel" "True"
EndSection

Edit: I forget to mention that the version of flash player I'm using is: 11,2,202,350

Things like this should go to the wiki, but

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
$ pacman -Q flashplugin
flashplugin 11.2.202.350-1
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
  Identifier "card0"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection

works for me.
