When using flash player 11.3.31.230 (pepperish) in Chrome (21.0.1180.83) driver Info tells me:
Render Mode: OpenGL (Direct blitting).
When using flash player 11,3,300,271 in the same Chrome it tells me:
Render Mode: Software Hw_disabled=oldDriver (Direct blitting)
When upgrading to 11,4,402,265 (still in Chrome, but also true for FF 15) this changes to
Render Mode: Software Hw_disabled=explicit.
(And here I thought explicit means that I somehow told it to use software fallback. Which I definitely didn't btw, because I'm using this test here.)
When I try to run the application directly from my IDE, targeting 11.3, it tells me
Software (Direct blitting).
When I do the same with AIR 3.3 for desktop (I know, wrong forum) it tells me
Software: Hw_disabled=oldDriver(direct).
Packaging the AIR app and then running it tells me
Software Hw_disabled=explicit.
So which one is it??? And why is the older version of flash player in Chrome supporting my graphic driver but the newer one doesn't?.
I'm on Windows 7. And I have the AMD Radeon hd 7730m. I could not find any newer driver than the one I have installed.
