On *some* machines the browser (iceweasel-3.5 or uzbl) crashes when opening a
flash web page. (iceweasel-11 does not crash, but flash does not work.)

Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.

Subject: Flash 11.2.202.228 crashes with "Illegal instruction" on any flash webpage

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The problem is not the web browser (it happens with: iceweasel, chromium,
opera, ...) the problem is in the plugin itself.

The versions 11.2.*.* have some problems, some are related with VDPAU
(videos have tint blue):

https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3164063

but there is at least other problem that is related with how the binary is
compiled:

https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3154276

this last is more important, if the binary is compiled using SSE2
instructions and you are trying to run it in a CPU without SSE2 the plugin
does not work.

I can confirm the problem in an Athlon XP 2600+:

Last version of the plugin working for me is the 11.1.102.63

Subject: This seems indeed to fix Adobe Flash plugin crashes and blue tint

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I found this interesting post on the VDPAU mailing list:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/vdpau/2012-May/000022.html

The proposed patch can be applied to current Debian libvdpau sources
(v0.4.1) and in my case allows the Flash plugin to work more or less as
it worked before 11.2; the patch also provides a conffile in order to
change its behaviour, just in case the current situation will change.

Attaching the EXPERIMENTAL result.
