55 Hi Dale,
56
57 I didn't change any hardware, I only update via eix-syc; emerge...
58 on a daily basis.
59
60 I am using nvidia-drivers-260-19-36.
61
62 May be our problems can be abstracted to "the flash player get lost
63 control over its own video overlay area"...
64
65 I am completly helpless in this case, since this kind of magick
66 (hardware related vido voodoo) isn't the kind of magick I normally
67 perform, hahahaha! :))
68
69 Hopefully another wizard will tune in...
70
71 Have a nice weekend!
72 Best regards
73 mcc
