I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Dell Latitude D620, and discovered a weird problem. Streaming Flash video would freeze when in full-screen mode. A quick Google search gave me this ...
Do the following in terminal,
"OverrideGPUValidation=true" instructs Flash to skip GPU validity checks, and thus 'boosts' Flash performance. I am not entirely sure about the performance 'boost', but the full-screen freeze issue is gone! I can now see the Cricket World Cup in full screen mode!! :)
More about the mms.cfg file can be found here.
Do the following in terminal,
- sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
- echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" > ~/mms.cfg
- sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe
"OverrideGPUValidation=true" instructs Flash to skip GPU validity checks, and thus 'boosts' Flash performance. I am not entirely sure about the performance 'boost', but the full-screen freeze issue is gone! I can now see the Cricket World Cup in full screen mode!! :)
