[Bug 1212455] Re: 8086:2562 Flash 11.2 content displays in shades of green and purple only, and in a horizontally compressed space

 

John Hupp, marking Triaged against Adobe given upstream discussion. Hence, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. It would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software via https://bugbase.adobe.com/?event=newBug :
Product: Adobe Flash Player
Version: 11.2
Product Area: Graphics
Frequency: Some users will encounter
Failure Type: Incorrect w/ Workaround
Found in Build: 11.2.202.262
* Unfortunately, 11.2.202.332 is not an option. I would just make a comment to this.

Title:
  8086:2562 Flash 11.2 content displays in shades of green and purple
  only, and in a horizontally compressed space

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In my testing with the Intel driver using its default acceleration, what works:
  - Flash 11.2 works on Quantal with the 3.5 kernel
  - Flash 11.2 works on Raring with the 3.5.0-17 kernel (though it boots to a low-res desktop with a frozen pointer)
  - Flash 11.2 works on Raring also with the 3.6.11-030611 or 3.7.10-030710 mainline kernels
  - Flash 11.2 works on Raring with the 3.8 kernel (in Chrome)

  what fails:
  - Flash 11.2 fails on Raring with the 3.8 kernel
  - Flash 11.2 fails on Raring with the latest mainline kernel, 3.11.0-031100rc5
  - Flash 11.2 fails on Saucy alpha 2 with its default kernel

  Disabling Flash *hardware* acceleration altogether (via R-click in the
  Flash display window: Settings: General tab) did not fix the problem.

  WORKAROUND: Setting the Intel driver's acceleration method to UXA
  rather than its default SNA *always* fixes the Flash problem, but
  causes a garbled login screen under LightDM that so far has no
  workaround.

  WORKAROUND: Adding to your xorg.conf :
  Section "Screen"
          Identifier "igd"
          DefaultDepth 24
  EndSection
