Comment 15 for bug 1265874

I installed the 32bit libraries and it stopped flimmering for some reason. When I installed adobe air.. Strange, but pretty sure that fixed it for me.

>Bug description:
> Everything worked nicely with pipelight with the open drivers, running Mint 16. When i installed the fglrx or the fglrx_updates drivers I got massive tearing or flimmering is a better way to describe it, in windowed mode, entering fullscreen worked nicely.
> When i turned embed mode to false, it worked nicely in both window mode and fullscreen mode. Anyway to fix this with out turning off embed?
