Buggy Flash player implementation for linux?

English Applications
1

Dear all,
I have heard that adobe does not provides the best flash-player implementation for opensuse… From my experience I know that my flash plug ins run slow and sometimes crash or are replaced by a grey border and thus I have to reload the page.

Did you ever had similar problems with the flash-player plugin?

Bets Regards
Alex

Yes, but it tends to depend on your graphics chipset/card and what graphics driver is configured. What is yours?

It’s not just “for openSUSE”, but other distros have also had problems.

I saw that. But in webpage has only 32 bit.

flash runs great here! on nVidia GeForce FX 5500 with the nVidia 3D
driver 173.14.28

how it runs on yours is directly related to your hardware’s graphics
capability…

Thats funny, in Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, I tested all, and I have the same issue with Intel Mobile 4 Series, the system hang on even Kernel .37 hangs, I just give up on flash!!

Kernel-desktop 2.6.37 (and 2.6.36) is good here with Flash on GM45 chipset (Intel Mobile 4 Series), lenovo thinkpad, but not good with full-screen Flash hang/freeze on 2.6.34 even after standard kernel updates.

i repeat: flash is not the problem (else, how could it work on my
machine wonderfully?), instead it is your graphics…what kind of
graphics card/chip are you using, and what driver…that info is
easily available to you in the “My Computer” on your desktop…

but without you telling us what you are using no one here has a chance
to help…i take that back, help yourself:

Yeah but for me the blame is in the implementation of adobe.
I have Geforce G210M… and flash sometimes go really slow and they might even hang (crash)
