NVIDIA blue (aka smurf) video problem is still an issue on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

[jasonq]

Video is still blue using NVIDIA cards on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I have no idea how to fix this. The web is clogged with bad advice and out-of-date solutions. Turning off hardware acceleration fixes the issue but is a totally inadequate work around. The CPU gets insanely hot and the fan screams like a dying child during video. The other "solutions" floating around (like messing with the Flash config files) don't seem to work, nor does updating to latest version of flash.

This is a top priority issue and it has been around for over a year now.

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.
