A couple of booby-traps for the unwarey...
1) There seemes to be a colour translation bug in recent versions of
Flash that only shows with the Nvidia video drivers. Red and blue are
swapped in Flash. If you see people with blue faces, and you're not
watching Avatar, you've hit this bug. The solution is to edit
/etc/adobe/mms.cfg Append the line...
EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
This will work with most Nvidia cards. If that doesn't work, try making
it two lines, namely...
EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
OverrideGPUValidation=true
Note that Flash is quite fragile with these two lines, and the plugin
crashes a lot.
A crash-free solution is to leave mms.cfg as-is and instead right click
in a flash window, select "Settings" and uncheck the hardware
acceleration checkbox. You probably need to restart the browser after that.
2) Nvidia drivers do not like the mplayer "xv" video output option at
all. It hangs my machine, requiring Magic-Sysrq to shut down
semi-gracefully. Don't use that option with Nvidia drivers.
Hmm. Xv is the most stable option for most users.
