I can't do a differential since my old lenovo died. it was on that computer i experienced the problem. it had an old gma 965 mobile (?) intel chipset which supported at most opengl 2.1 and had no transform&lighting capabilities it seemed. right now i'm on a lenovo edge e530 with a intel ivy bridge chipset.
what i can say is that i do not experience problems with flash on my current computer, but if that is due to higher performance or better hardware capabilities that's hard to say. there might still be a performance regression without it being noticeable to the naked eye. you will have to run cpu utilization tests to confirm. specs for new box: OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 9.0 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 flash plugin at the moment: Architecture: amd64 Version: 11.2.202.262-0quantal1 old versions of flash player can be obtained here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017153 Title: Regression in flash plugin >= 11.2.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/1017153/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
