Does adobe even know about this problem? I haven't had quite that level of problems--with Adobe 64-bit Flash, I have no major complaints. Full-screen video is slow, but I'm not sure whether Adobe or my Intel GPU is to blame for that. > I wonder if any graphics chips will provide a flash decoder so that > all the host has to do is send the flash stream directly to the graphics > controller. While truly *awesome*, I don't think it will happen. I imagine it would be much, much cheaper and easier for Adobe to fund a couple more programmers on the Linux Flash port, than for anybody to commission a dedicated HW design and incorporate it into GPUs. Adobe underfunds Linux development because of a perceived lack of desktop market share--they don't see enough Linux users to justify the costs. If Linux market share ever grows big enough, Adobe's cheapest option will just be to improve the Linux port. I don't think 3rd parties could build/sell the hardware, either--Adobe seems to have shut down F/OSS Flash 10 implementations (Patents? I don't actually know.). Whatever the cause, though, I think the same cost-evaluation logic applies to 3rd parties: If you could get permission/exemption to implement Flash 10, wouldn't it be cheaper just to improve Adobe's Linux software port, or write your own, rather than design chips? But I could be wrong about the comparative design costs--this is just my wild speculation. -R -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
