Salix Forums

I have a very weird problem. I recently purchased an Asus pa246q 24,1" monitor that I am using with Salix64 KDE 13.37. The monitor is great,
the colors are great - except for YouTube videos. The thumbnail versions are fine, but when I play the videos, everyone looks like
members of the Blue Man Group or the cast from the movie Avatar. I have tried on numerous occasions with both Firefox and Google Chrome and get
the same result. All other sites, such as Vimeo, that I have come across so far reproduce the correct colors. Even stranger is that I
can view YouTube videos with the color reproduced correctly, if I start up Virtualbox and run Firefox under Windows 7. This suggests to me that
it is either a problem with the Linux version of the Flash plug-in or with Salix. Can this be confirmed?

I believe there is no flash for 64 bits. There may be a workaround somewhere in this thread:

There is definitely flash for 64bits.

Your problem should be solved if you disable hardware acceleration in flash (it's useless anyway).

That post was from 2009, I see.

Wow. Thanks for the quick replies. Disabling hardware acceleration seems to work. Thanks
