31 Generically, I've been trying to disable HW Accel but it hasn't fixed
32 the problem I'm seeing. I've tried
33
34 EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0
35
36 along with
37
38 AVHardwareDisable = 1
39
40 and
41
42 OverrideGPUValidation=0
43 or
44 OverrideGPUValidation=1
45
46 which I don't think have anything to do with this, but I tried it
47 anyway. No luck with those. Flash still crashes and I see this in
48 dmesg:
49
50 [25443.454436] plugin-containe[5665]: segfault at 0 ip
51 00007f2a356441c5 sp 00007fff04e606e0 error 4 in

55 libmozalloc.so[7f4690ef1000+2000]
56
57 Most all of the references I find on the web have you turn off
58 acceleration using a click box in Flash, but my Flash crashes so I
59 have no GUI at all.
60
61 With respect to 11.1, I suspect that's what I was running earlier but
62 it's no longer in portage on any of my systems and I'm not finding it
63 in any overlay.
64
65 Thanks, I'll keep trying.
66
67 Cheers,
