<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Granted that Adobe Flash Player for
Linux is being orphaned.<br>
<br>
But before the bug was closed, it seemed that it was being treated
as a kernel bug, not a Flash bug, so from that angle there could
be a fix.<br>
<br>
And I would think that there would be broad desire for a fix,
since there are a lot of these Dell's running XP, which *buntu
would like to replace. And perhaps many other machines with the
same Intel graphics subject to the bug.<br>
<br>
Not only that, but Flash is still in tremendously wide usage,
though HTML5 is gaining ground. (Last I knew though, Hulu's
analysis was that HTML5 didn't presently support their business
model). So if you're trying to be a capable general-purpose
desktop distro, right now you need to be able to handle Flash
smoothly.<br>

<div id="_originalContent" style="">There was this helpful bug
report on file at <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178982">http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1178982</a>.<br>
<br>
It described behavior on Dell PC's with integrated Intel
graphics, in <br>
which Adobe Flash Player would display only with shades of
purple and <br>
green in a horizontally compressed window (or at least that's
how I <br>
would describe what I see on a Dell Dimension 2400).<br>
<br>
The work-around (Comment #1) was to change the Xorg acceleration
method <br>
to UXA.<br>
<br>
But the bug was closed because the OP didn't have possession of
the <br>
machine anymore.<br>
<br>
I have not been able to find an active refile of the bug. Is
there <br>
one? (I'd like to vote it up!)<br>
