Is that what happens with you, too, or doesn't your player enter fullscreen before freezing?
So it may just be a flash player problem? We are running very different versions, though. Honestly, the flash plugin should not be able to freeze the whole screen and never return control :( Maybe I should try an alternate (open) implementation. > stops rendering new > frames, yes > but audio continues playing normally. yes > However, on YouTube, > the fullscreen video is still responsive because I can press Escape > to dismiss the fullscreen state hmm, unsure. I think I can dismiss fullscreen mode with Esc, since I seem then to be able to defocus the player, but obviously nothing of that can be seen on the (frozen) screen > and can also click to pause/resume. yes. Though sometimes, when switching to fullscreen very early when the vid is still loading, it seems like it never starts to play. $ uname -a Linux blackboxx 2.6.35-30-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 11 20:00:22 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux $ wmii -v wmii-hg2788+, ©2010 Kris Maglione $ aptitude show adobe-flashplugin | grep Version Version: 10.3.181.34-0maverick1 btw, I use pentadactyl as well; though in different versions on the two boxes that show the problem, iirc. @Suraj If you see it, but Kris doesn't, does that mean the problem might be related to rumai? Thanks for the support, anyone dtk
