Hard to explain but after I updated the system 2 days ago I
started to get strange rendering issues with flash items..
It seems that the flash item is rendered or leaks through on
everything that is black on the screen. Worst thing is that
it still there after I've shut down all flash media.
I've tracked it down to the libvdpau package and removed it for now.. (I find it odd that so many packages depends on it tho) 2.6.37-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jan 29 19:40:04 UTC 2011 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
This task depends upon

the hardware decoding from flashplugin is disabled by default and you have to enable from /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
Edit; enabled it in that config file and reinstalling libvdpau made the problem come back. However, some further digging I found an "enable hardware acceleration" tickbox in the flashplayer menus, unticked it and the problem is gone again.. so it seems like that config file is irrelevant(or would perhaps a reboot or logout/in be needed for it to take affect? I don't see how that would be relevant tho since hwaccel never was enabled in that config file in the first place..
What essentially happens is that the flash content loaded in the current tab starts displaying on other tabs too and it also displays on every gui application that we open after that, but doesn't display on a terminal emulator window nor on the desktop background, i.e., wallpaper.
Also, to get rid of it, the only option is to restart X.
I don't know if it's related to vdpau, rather i think it is caused by flashplugin.
I tried it with flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1, and even with today's update 10.2.152.27-2. I enabled hardware acceleration after today's update to see if it has any effect, but the problem still persists.
I am using nvidia binary driver with nvidia 8600GT.
Fash contents comes through other windows.
No flash saved in /tmp
Anyone knows where they might be found?
/home/user_name/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/Cache/
Got rid of it disabling flash hardware acceleration in /etc/adobe/mms.conf and in flash settings in rmb-menu on any flash. Switching from X virtual console to one of textual consoles and back helps.
