Help with flash player

I am new to Linux, and every distro I have tried I have had the same problem. I run 2 monitors, both @ 1920*1080.
Here is the problem, when ever I run multi display I can no longer full screen flashplayer on youtube. All i get are big black boarders around the same sized video that is embedded in the web page. No stretched image, or if it's high deff the resolution will change but it wont fit to screen.

I have changed every option in Catalyst Control Center, and nothing helps

I have used display for scaling

I have tried graphics Processor for scaling

used centered timings

scale image to full panel size

and Maintain aspect ratio

for both display and GPU scaling

On top of this i have tried Single display desktop --- Youtube Scaling works, but can't move programs from top monitor to bottom monitor, bottom monitor is white, and i have an X for a cursor.

cloned display----scaling works, but whats the point.

I'm Pretty sure it is not a driver issue; that said:

I have done some poking around, and it seems as though it is flash player not picking the right monitor, or trying to scale the monitor to both screen resolutions. Is there a way to fix this. I have tried right clicking on the video to disable hardware acceleration, that does nothing.
This same configuration works perfectly in windows 7, and in Vista when I ran that.

I would just like to full screen to main monitor, and to be able to drag windows up and down between the monitors.

This doesn't affect sites like break.com

Hi,

have you fully updated your system:

Also, open Synaptic and type "flash" in search and then right click the package and add the suggested packages.

Let us know if this helps.

Also try switching to the html5 trial.

I am installing the apt-get update, and the dist-upgrade.
Got this msg doing dist-upgrade:

To madvinegar, yes i did opt in last night for the HTML5, mainly because I'm grasping at straws at this point.

After updates, all i get is a big white/black screen, audio only.
Im using google Chrome btw.
tried to set monitor for scaling:
Got an error.
I unplugged one monitor, and it full screens just fine again.

When you plug the 2nd screen logout and login again.

Hi,

have you also checked the display settings in the System Settings manager??.

If you are having a problem with updating, try changing the download location of your software sources.

Nothing works. I can log in get on the internet, i can watch flash, but when i full screen i get an all black, or all white screen seems random, audio only.
How do i get rid of flash, and then re-install?

Hi,

to re-install flash, please open Synaptic and type "flash" in search, then right click the package and mark for re-installation!.

What graphics card do you have and did you install the drivers for it via the Addtional drivers tool in System Settings??. (works for ATI and Nvidia only).

Regards Wolfman

Im running the latest catalyst drivers, ATi hd 6870

As WM correctly stated, open terminal and write
jockey-gtk

In the window that will open check to see if there are any recomended ATI drivers to be enabled.
If yes, choose the ones that do NOT say about the updates.
Enable them, restart and check again.
