Hi I installed the last Catalyst Drivers on Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon and ubuntu 14.04:
....but i try enable Flash Hardware Video Decode Acceleration in Firefox:
... Firefox crash in youtube videos for example, only working if i disable the line:
..but if i disable the line I check if acceleration is working by right clicking a Flash video on YouTube and selecting "Stats for nerds". The stats box displays the following: "accelerated video rendering, software video decoding" and i think should displays: "accelerated video rendering, hardware video decoding"
I do not know if is possible the hardware acceleration in recent catalyst drivers ..
Best Regards.
