[SOLVED] Garbage full screen Flash videos after system update

Most recent flashplugin, latest Namoroka (it was a pacman -Syu update), i686 system. Same thing with chromium and opera-devel.

Reinstalling either browser or flashplugin didn't help.

Is there a way I can fix it ? Perhaps by downgrading ? Thanks.

Edit: Also the latest nouveau driver for Geforce 7025 (onboard).

Re: [SOLVED] Garbage full screen Flash videos after system update

I noticed it also happens in SMPlayer with gl_nosw, gl, gl2 and in VLC with GLX video output (XCB) - have to stop playback for it to take effect, unlike SMplayer which does the switching instantly.

I think Nouveau doesn't support these rendering modes. From what I read it has basic 2D capabilities and some video decoding features, which are probably better supported with discrete cards instead of integrated.

So how can I tell flashplugin to use X to render the video ? Xv, for instance. Something else.

Xv will never be supported bu flash, anyway did you tried to turn acceleration (read: gpu scaling) off by rightclicking on the video?
