Hi All,

Scientific Linux 6.2, 64 bit
Xfce 4.8

# rpm -qa \*nvidia\*
kmod-nvidia-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

I had to downgrade my flash plugin from
flash-plugin-11.2.202.236-0.2.el6.rf.x86_64
to
flash-plugin-11.1.102.63-0.1.el6.rf.x86_64

This because if you had a flash picture open
in Firefox, and you moved another/any program
across the top of the flash video, artifacts of
the flash picture from behind would distort the program
in the foreground. Almost as if it was
doing a logical XOR. Including if Firefox
was minimized. The distortions would occur
where Firefox was before it got minimized.

Anyway, this is Adobe's problem and not RPM
Forge's. But I was wondering if there was
an update in our future that would solve the
XOR problem?

Many thanks,
-T
