| Flash on linux is all cpu at the moment.  Apparently adobe has talked

| ever happen.

This news is about a month old.

This is a beta that apparently does exploit VDPAU (and maybe the
Broadcom CrystalHD).  Only 32-bit version on Linux so far).

I haven't tried this.  If you do, please report back with your
experiences.
