    [SOLVED] Latest Flash plugin crashes GNU IceCat in full screen

    Hi,
    I just upgraded the Flash plugin (v10.0 r32) and now when I try to view a video in full screen in GNU IceCat the browser crashes. I use the exact same plugin in Firefox, Flock and SeaMonkey and both work well. How can I go about diagnosing and hopefully fixing this?

    Thank you.

    EDIT: Never mind. It seems there is a bug with the plugin which crashes in full screen mode on systems with nVidia video cards and the plugin's hardware acceleration enabled. Disabling hardware acceleration fixed it. This is why the other browsers worked--I had hardware acceleration already disabled in them.
