Does it support kernel 2.6.38 yet, or is hacking needed?

So are you saying that they finally adopted vdpau since that is the only acceleration support in flash currently?

"current" is a kind of word you don't understand in a therm of Future meaning.

In my hardware, HD4650, if I enable tear free video, it works great, but you watch a flash video in flash screen, you can't go back to windowed mode, you get an unresponsive white screen. You need to ctrl-alt-f2 and then ctrl-alt-f7. This unlocks the screen. The bug still occurs in 11.2, I just checked ...

I got curious, what does the "distribution packaging scripts" do? Is it to supply ready-to-ditribute packages for for Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, etc?
