If you're using official drivers for your video cards Flash Hardware |
| 63 |
acceleration is activated. But it doesn't work well in Linux. Right click |
| 64 |
on a flash video, click on setting, and then the display tab. Disable |
| 65 |
hardware acceleration. That generally fixes the problem you describe. |

Good luck. |
