6. xml socket jams when receiving data in quick order 7. flash is always rendered on top i believe the text rendering problem are fonts that the developer didn't include because of the false assumption they would be present on all systems. not sure, though. as for standalone, pf8 and fp8.5 work well with wine, as far as i have tested. can't wait for a new linux plugin -- yes, 8.5 preferably. unfortunately it will probably take a while, considering the job for principal engineer for the linux player is still open: http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/hr/reqs/engineering/2907br.html (link taken from this very informative blog post which happens to be relevant for this discussion: http://www.kaourantin.net/2005/08/porting-flash-player-to-alternative.html btw, Tinic's blog is great. go read it now if you haven't yet.) mark On 10/20/05, David Rorex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/19/05, Michael Stuhr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > eric dolecki schrieb: > > >Is the FP7 for Linux pretty solid?
