https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288020#c2 --- Comment #2 from Jim Omura 2007-07-05 07:55:51 MST --- I downloaded "0.8.0-7.3.x86_64" (the latest version July 4) using "rpm -Uvh" and it failed to install due to "libagg.so.2 (64 bit)" not being found. I tried it again using YaST2 in order to find the missing file, but that did not work either. Unfortunately, after this, I made the mistake of updating my whole system, and an update to Xorg took down my X server. So it may be a while before I can do any further testing. Oh well. . . . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288020#c4 --- Comment #4 from Jim Omura 2007-07-10 14:35:20 MST --- I installed the "agg" and the "gnash" and it is better now. I tried it on "myspace" and "youtube". It will render the pages without crashing, which is a good start. It will not show videos, and the animated displays have errors, but that was what I expected. But "not crashing" is definitely better. Incidentally, I am now running an ATi X1600 Pro, using the ATi fglrx driver version "8.38.6" with full acceleration. That will not make much difference for now, but anything that is implemented in gnash should not fail due to lack of processing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288020#c6 --- Comment #6 from Jim Omura 2007-07-11 21:46:01 MST --- I am ambivalent about whether this bug stays open or not. On the one hand, I expect that what most people want is a fully functioning Flash implementation. So as long as there is any discrepancy between what one sees on real Flash and what gnash produces I guess someone would want it changed. On the other hand, I do not feel a pressing need for Flash at all. If I really want to see a Flash site, then I can use another computer. In fact, I use a 3rd computer quite often which is an XP machine which I deliberate did NOT install Flash on. If a site has an option for a pure HTML page, then that is what I chose on that computer. If there is only Flash, then I often do not bother with the site at all. So while I would like to have Flash on this Linux box, it is not a priority. If you leave this bug open, then there might be some other people who might come along and give more feedback, but I am not planning on posting more right now. I would like to leave it open for a couple of days -- say till Friday, in case I decide to post further information. But beyond Friday, if no one else posts anything, then maybe that would be a good day to close it. For now, I will try and post a summary of what I have seen: [NOTE: I do not have any personal connection with these sites. I am just reading them like everone else.] "http://www.youtube.com/" - right now there is a Flash based banner near the top of the page. There are some animated "buttons" to push. The pictures (buttons) are not being displayed properly, making the whole banner generally useless. "http://www.stingerproducts.com/" - This appears to be working properly as far as I can tell. "http://www.newswire.ca/en/" - There is an adversizing spot on the top right which is Flash based. It seems to be working properly. Maybe more to come? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
