Let us know how this works - I considered flashing myself today, if you get significant improvement then I will give it a shot

PS: Just watched motherlovin on the nbc website - worked just fine

As for youtube, I just clicked the first thing I saw on the hompeage, for testing.

I'm now uninstalling abiword, reposuitory checker and any other new things I tried out today.

I'm gettin a very glitchy clunky response frot hos file (as well as ads). But YouTube seems to work fine for me. What level of flash does megavideo require?

For me, after the firmware update flash video playback is same/better.

Thats part of the reason I rarely use megavideo - its one big spam/ad fest

I guess it depends 9-10, but I watched megavideo 1-2 weeks ago without issues...

Is "cold reboot the way to have the device completely cleaned up?

Code:

To cold flash (needed usually when the bootloader has been changed) run 
      $ flasher-3.5 -c -h RX-51:<hw_id> -F <FIASCO image> -f -R

The code "RX-51" used in example is the product code for N900 device. The <hw_id> is the product HW revision which is a 4-digit code. Both product code and HW revision can be found from the type label of the device to be flashed. Type label is on the back of the device underneath the battery.

And which one is the fiasco image?

Ok, flashed to the previous firmware youtube was fixed but megavideo was still jerky... overall the impression it left me was quite bad... don't even know how I'd live without PR 1.1. (boots much faster and web page rendering is simply awesome!)
Even on video hosting servers that should spare their bandwidth, crappy encoded videos seem to have taken the lead

I flashed back now but there's one thing that disturbed me, I couldn't "Cold flash" each time I tried I got "the memory could not be read" error...

for megavideo, be patient until Flash 10.1 comes out....youtube is better with the 1.1 firmware.Megavideo is terrible with or without the new firmware.It can even drag a desktop computer to a halt
