[Linux - BCM70015] Support for Broadcom Crystal HD

Report · Jan 04, 2011

Hi, I'm a linux user.

Now, i'm using version 10,2,151,49 of Adobe Flash Player, but i'm really disappointed because my Broadcom Crystal HD(BCM70015) isn't more supported.

I am little confused because a previous version (SQUARE) has worked fine, but after this update my netbook can't handle hd video provided by web sites.

What's happened? Why Broadcom Crystal HD is not more supported by Adobe Flash Player as in previous version? Will use Adobe Flash Player the Broadcom hardware on linux hardware in the next releases?

At this moment only 360p and 480p are watchable on my netbook, my external display full HD is not more very useful!

I think that the power of Adobe flash must may be appreciable both to Windows and Linux netbook, that use the same product.

I'm not going to buy a license for Microsoft to see movies in high definition with Adobe Flash.

Thank you for your answers and I hope this misunderstanding will be resolved soon.

Sincerely,
Danilo
