Thanks, this patch solve my two problems. I already have this problem, and it was gone for a while until the last update of flashplugin. This patch was applied in the flashplugin package ?

Ionut Biru, no, it does not work.
besides, my video card(GeForce FX 5700LE, nvidia-173xx nvidia-173xx-utils) does not support vdpau
/usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so process does not even appear

For me this latest version didn't work at all. Allways crashes or gets black screen
Video: GF FX 5600XT and for now found only one solution to make flash work.
Downgrade to http://arm.konnichi.com/extra/os/i686/flashplugin-11.1.102.63-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

I want to add one thing. Only after enabling hw accel by "/etc/adobe/", plugins are crashing on sites other than youtube (embed yt movie crashes as well).

Disabling hardware acceleration in flash solves the problem until a permanent solution was found.

I think I may have this problem as well... a flash video (youtube) in one tab shows on all other Chromium tabs as well as some other applications (like Lotus Notes and Geeqie). Is this the same issue others are experiencing? Colors are fine for me.

If you right click on the flash window, like Nassim says, gives you an option to disable the Hardware Acceleration option on your flash installation. I have tried this solution and it has worked.
