Gnome/Multiscreen and flash

English Applications
1

I’m using a Multiscreen setup, one connected through hdmi, the other through dvi. Main monitor is running 1680x1050, secondary 1360x768

I’ve installed the ati drivers, and from there enabled Xinerama.

If I maximize a flash video, it maximizes on the secondary screen, and in the wrong resolution, making me unable to watch in full screen. >:(

If I disable Xinerama, and use the built in Multiscreen options in the ati drivers I have the same issues, except when I have them set up as two seperate monitors, unable to drag windows to each other.

Tried disabling hardware acceleration in flash, didn’t fix the problem.

Using opensuse 11.2 x64
Flash 10.0.32.18-3.2.1 (i586)
nspluginwrapper 1.2.2-5.6.1 (x86_64)

Bump, onder KDE it behaves differently.

Take for example this video “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zvCUmeoHpw”

When I maximize it, the player maximizes, but the video itself doesn’t :expressionless:

Bump, any ideas welcome :frowning:

Well its fine for me, though a little slow… but i am not on dual monitors.
Dual monitor support in linux has always been iffy though.
But the slowness in flash on my end might be related to your issue, could mean the flashplugin is bugged… again.

That would be rather annoying, is there no alternative flash player application ? :frowning:
