Getting flash 10.2 GPU acceleration working

After a bit of research I can answer my own question. The full way to get flash using the an nvidia ion gpu on ubuntu 10.10:

Install the new flash 10.2 beta:

wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p2_32bit_linux_111710.tar.gz
tar zxvf flashplayer10_2_p2_32bit_linux_111710.tar.gz
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/

You may need to also replace flash in other locations if you have installed in multiple places (try using 'locate libflashplayer.so' for a complete list)

Then for gpu support you also need (this was the bit I was missing):

sudo apt-get install libvdpau1

If you also want it working in chrome try:

• Can you use the new beta Adobe Flash 10.2 in Google Chrome
• http://lifehacker.com/5705588/how-to-get-the-flash-102-beta-working-in-google-chrome

To verify it is working go to a high-def you-tube video and play it. While it is playing right click and select - video info. You should see "Accelerated Video Rendering" if it has worked.

These instructions worked on my acer revo with a nvidia ion gpu.
