Comment(by overbyte):

 I just installed Adobe FlashPlayer 10,0,45,2 on my XO-1 with up-to-date
 operating system & Browse activity.   Flash content plays, but when I try
 to test the XO's camera using FlashPlayer Settings dialog (right-click in
 a Flash movie > click Settings), the FlashPlayer '''Settings dialog that
 pops up does not respond to mouse''' clicks.   Navigating with Tab and
 Enter, I can bring up the camera tab and activate the camera test window.
 All I see is '''diagonal purple and black lines''', which do respond by
 changing when I wave my fingers in front of the lens.   The camera
 selection box does show "cafe ccic (V4L2)".  This is exactly the same
 behavior I got last year with an earlier version (10,0,22,x) of
 FlashPlayer.   Nothing's changed.   However, when I run Xubuntu from a
 bootable SD card in the XO, I can get perfectly fine video/audio in
 FlashPlayer 10 plug-in on Firefox.   So, it's not the hardware, but rather
 it's a software bug.
