[2.] Full description of the problem/report: The full downstream bug report is at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1212455 , but my description from there:
In my testing with the Intel driver using its default acceleration:
- 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 11.8 works on Raring with the 3.8 kernel (in Chrome)
- 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
It's a flash bug. They ignore the format of the Window that they PutImage to. (Worse, they create an image of the right depth or else X would reject the PutImage with a BadMatch and then render incorrect pixel data into it.) -Chris
