Improve Flash Player 10 Performance

[Texstar]

Open a terminal console and su to root

type su
enter your root password
type mkdir -p /etc/adobe
type echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" > /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Don't expect the hack to be a magical speed boost option but it does help with tearing and choppiness. Hopefully Adobe will one day fix flash in Linux instead of giving us workarounds.

Or someday some Linux people will come up with something better:

Thanks for the hack btw.

I can verify that this hack does indeed work. All my choppiness has gone away + flash seems to start quicker. Love it. Thanks Tex!

How do I undo the go around?
  it makes my full screen mode do weird things... there is grey and white bars blinking from the bottom to the top of the screen.

   Thanks anyway Tex,

    I use Compiz, so tried it in KDE 3.5 and still did the same thing.

I use compiz and kde 3.5 and it works very well. I have an Intel gm965 video.
