[GRLUG] Flash suddenly not working

[Mike Williams]

I'm pretty sure I have the official "flash-plugin-nonfree" package 
installed, but that should be irrelevant to Chrome (not Chromium) since 
the flash player is built into it. Chrome doesn't call any external 
plugins to do Flash. I'm wondering if there is something wrong further 
down, like some graphics acceleration library that all Flash players 
access. GLXGears reports 475FPS at the default window size and about 50 
at full screen, but I'm not sure if that means much.
