>Description:
I've updated to linux-flashplugin-7.0r73 and linux-opera-9.25.20071214 and every time I've visited a website with a flashplugin I've got the following error:

The program '<unknown>' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 115 error_code 8 request_code 144 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
opera: Plug-in 2427 is not responding. It will be closed.
opera: Define environment variable OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN to keep blocked
plug-ins.

Also firefox-2.0.0.11,1 with linuxpluginwrapper-20051113_8 had not been working with any flashplugin.

After I changed the color depth of the xserver from 16 to 24 bit both browser worked well with flashplugins.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the mentioned packages, set your xserve to color depth of 16 bit and visit a website with flash content.
>Fix:
change color depth to 24 bit. (32 bit may also work but my xclient (nv) does not support 32 bit color depth at the moment.)
