wrong color mask

[Joerg Delker]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04

flashplugin-nonfree:
  Installed: 10.0.1.218ubuntu1
  Candidate: 10.0.1.218ubuntu1

Adobe's flash plugin obviously uses a hard-coded color mask
(red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff) which does not necessarily fit the actual mask used by the X Server.

As a consequence flash content (e.g. videos) shows wrong colors, when run on alternate X-Servers (like Sun Ray Xnewt).
The plugin shall not use hard coded values, but query the XServer for the correct mask to be used.

Please test the newer beta 2.

I've installed
flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1_i386.deb
which I assume is what you are referring to as "beta 2".

The plugin shows in "about:plugins" as
    File name: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 10.0.0 d525

The problem remains the same though :-(
