LinuxQuestions.org - Can't play Flash videos after hardware downgrade

Hi,

My workhorse PC unfortunately just broke down. Until I can figure out what exactly is broken and if I can repair it, I replaced it with the Shuttle PC that I'm normally using as a jukebox, e. g. for webradio in the living room.

Here's the specs:

Code:

[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ /sbin/lspci | grep -i vga

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)

I'm using NVidia's recommended proprietary driver for the card, and I have two monitors in twinview configuration attached to it.

Only problem so far (and one that I've been more or less become accustomed to over the years, alas): I can't play Adobe Flash videos. There's just a black rectangle showing in place of the video.

I'm running Flash Player version 11.2.202.243-i386 on this machine.

As usual with Adobe Flash problems, I'm clueless. Any suggestions?
