Adobe Flash 11 Beta 2 Is More Stable, Faster On Linux

[ChrisXY]

I think adobe disabled that feature as 10.3 always needed to disable composite effects in fullscreen. sometimes you had to press alt-tab to see the fullscreen video. but of course with accellerated rendering it was much smoother, seems that adobe wants you to buy a faster cpu or use win

I have a fast CPU and that's why it is running smooth. But it also resides inside a laptop and whenever I watch a fullscreen flash video I hear the fans going pretty high.

Also, they have still the second monitor bug:

It has nothing to do with the window manager and on VGA output it mostly works, but on HDMI output this is really bad.

Traditionally, only morons work for Adobe. And it shows.

With the final the tearing and extreme cpu usage issue disappeared, however it is still much too high for just playing a video.

And this is why:

Can you get an Archlinux test system too, please?
Beause, no it isn't faster. It's still horrible as the beta 1. With horrible I mean, watching a low resolution video is not working fluently on an i5 480M@2,9GHz with HD 6550 on fglrx. Extreme tearing and large stutters. I think it renders everything in Software and draws everything to screen with no hardware acceleration whatsoever.

Makes me wonder whether it loads some libraries dynamically on your Ubuntu or whatever you test it on.

I'm running an [email protected] and the integrated intel ironlake graphics. I can watch 720p and 1080p video perfectly smoothly, no stuttering, no tearing. sounds like some sort of ati issue. I don't believe flash has any hardware acceleration on intel either... (only on nvidia). Running fine here.

I've run flash 11 on fedora 15 and on arch linux and they both worked the same.

Flash is like the Internet Explorer<7, and should be killed with fire.

I can use HTMLv5 to watch YouTube's non-Vevo shit and Soundcloud for music.

Think of all the pointless games and adds you'll be missing...

I jiggled my mouse really fast, just for you.

Same here, ATI 3200HD with OSS drivers, everything is very smooth and no tearing.
