OK, fair enough. But out of curiosity, why did you select -default?
Any
particular reason?

Habit I guess, acccept for netbooks I always choose default

OK, thanks.

Now it is getting interesting, with desktop kernel ( 3.3.5-1-desktop )
flash is not crashing ( that is 235) with or without hardware
accelaration. I will need to try it with default kernel as well to see
if there might me a kernel related issue going on.

Does anybody know when the flash crashes where does it dump the garbage

I found a silly solution to all flash-player video crashes and the people on
it turning their skin blue.

Flash-Player 235 made some changes on video behavior on my side and other
people's computer on this mailing list.

I did some tests with 32 bit and 64 bit systems, GNOME and KDE, openSUSE 11.4
and 12.1.

I did some tests with different video card adapters including nVIDIA, ATI, GMA
and Pineview Intel Controller. Including propietary and free drivers.

It looks related to propietary drivers installed and 64 bit systems. Same
hardware with 32 bit system and free drivers are not impacted disregard the
video adapter cards.

Conclusion:

If you find the Video Flash Player Crash or people showin blue skins. Reload
and/or Go to YouTube or any video hoster. Stop the video playing. Mouse Right-
Click on Video image will show a contextual dialog. Move the pointer to
Setting option and press Left-Click on it. It will show several tab. Choose
Display Tab, Uncheck the Hardware Acceleration box. Reload your favorite video
and voila. No more crashes.
