I have Linux Gentoo with nvidia-drivers 270.41.06.
In browser opera 11.50.1074 Adobe flash player shows a dark square only. But in Firefox it is working fine. I need help.

Not an expert, but off the top of my head:

What system are you running on? 64-bit / 32-bit?

What version of firefox are you using?

Does opera detect the flash plugin?

Are you using the 64bit flash version? It's not working for me with Opera, either. Here's the message I get with "opera -debugplugin":

Code:

Opera Plugin Proxy: Could not start up plugin

And for more detailed output:

Code:
OPERA_PLUGINWRAPPER_DEBUG=5 opera

Higher number for higher flood. ^^
As a side-note, I always thought this also requires the -debugplugin switch but it does show the info regardless (it would seem to me).

Yes, it does.

It wrote the following:
Code:
OperaPluginWrapper(Shockwave Flash): Segmentation fault
OperaPluginWrapper(Shockwave Flash): Attempt to print the stack from the signal handler

and some flood.
Also was next:
Code:
messtrans: error in timeoutRead(fd=36, timeout=30): No such process
Opera Plugin Proxy: quitPlugin()
Opera Plugin Proxy: pluginWrapper::releaseMemory

Yeah, I get a segfault with the same message as well, so it's not 64 or 32bit specific.

Okay, I would suggest trying either

Code:
=nvidia-drivers-275.09.07

or

Code:
=nvidia-drivers-260.19.44

for I had Opera go segfault for whatever reason with 270.41.06 version, but not with 275.09.07. I never investigated it further, though, to find out exactly why. But yeah, that's something I'd suggest trying out for now.

Oh and while 275.09.07 is still not marked as stable, I have been using them for quite a while without issues, or rather I have not noticed any... yet?

Update the nVidia driver to version 275 helped me. Thank you.

I'm using 275.09.07, so that's not the issue for me. I might try the 280x beta drivers again (but the glibc bug is back again for that release)

Also yesterday I updated X.org server to version 1.10.2. I don't think but all is possible.
