Hi Andreas,

I am using the following software and versions:

Iceweasel 10.0.3esr3
konqueror 4:4.7.4-2
opera 11.62.1347
flashplugin 11.2.r0002 (I am using flashplugin-nonfree)
nvidia-glx 295.40-1 and nvidia-kernel-dkms (same version, of course)
libvdpau10.4.1-5

I saw, there is also nvidia-libvdpau1-ia32 and nvidia-libvdpau1 available, but 
they are not installed on my system. For these both packages exist no 
dependencies to nvidia-glx or similar, so they are not installed. I think , 
libvdpau1 is covering the same functions.

Additionally I don't believe, there were released versions between -2 and -5, 
I searched for them at backports.debian.org, but found none.

As I made some upgrades during the last days, I checked today again. The bug 
is already active. No red colour on youtube videos. Shall i avoid upgrades 
during the next time, until the bug is fixed?

Hope, these informations help a little bit.

Hmm, while writing this message, I found this link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953796

Is this a real solution for debian, too? Or is this more a workaround?

Best regards

Hans
