I have an NVIDIA card. NVIDIA has 64 drivers. Works perfectly. To run Firefox with Flash and Sun's Java, you can use 32 bit firefox-bin. Works perfectly fine when Flash is installed via Portage. As for Sun's JRE, you'll need to extract it yourself and just add a link to its plugin so in mozilla's plugins directory. This information is available in the AMD64 related documents on http://gentoo-wiki.com I also compiled Mozilla with VLC plugin for streaming stuff. Mplayer-bin which is 32 bit, is also installed for win32codecs to work. I don't use XMMS, I use amaroK. Works perfectly. So does ALSA. There's a nice guide in GPD for creating 32 bit chroots. Check it out. HTH, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
