	I have tried this and I also have LDM_Directx running. It was
working fine with K12ltsp6 and edubuntu feisty. Now with Hardy it is
jerky again. I think the graphic driver is wrong because everything is
slow not just flash. How can I troubleshoot and fix this?

			This latest version includes hardware
acceleration which is a great idea

graphics cards. It's a

			Right click a Flash animation and you'll get a
menu of options. Choose
			"Settings" near the bottom.
			
			In settings, the first pane (the leftmost) has
the option for hardware
			acceleration. By default, it is checked. Uncheck
it and restart your
			browser.
			
			If you've tried this version before and reverted
to 9.0.48, you'll see
			the tab for the display pane but won't be able
to access the dialogue.
			And even reverting, you may experience poor
performance (it was driving
			me nuts).
			
			Note: some Flash files disable the ability to
change settings. If you
			can't access a menu, go to a different web site,
e.g. adobe.com
			
			Hope this helps someone.
			
			Regards,
			William

	Will this work for other flash applications? We have an app that
calls the flash player to display the program thought http and even
though it works great on the server, it's performance is terrible on the
thin clients. If you can change the settings in firefox will they work
universally for that user is the question I guess. And is there a way to
make that the default for all users?
