Links that use small .swf files as their images do work. Anyhow, it is better than last time around. It looks as if the plugin may only work if you've already opened a .swf file in the current session, but I am not sure. Also, as regards sound (for those interested in movies), this from their mailing list: The problem is that gnash currently only support sound-elements (usually small sound-clips), and not sound streams (lnoger and bigger sound-clips). We are working on a new gstreamer based solution, but it's not ready yet. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It turns out that this is an xorg module. To load it, uncomment the line Load glx in xorg.conf. So now we do have some Flash for FreeBSD. I got gnash to run a .swf movie (no sound though) and Firefox can use the plugin to some extent.

Trying to run it, I get this: $ gnash (gnash:69101): GdkGLExt-WARNING **: Window system doesn't support OpenGL. $ Is there a fix for this? (And if there is, are there more issues to face after this one is dealt with?) I know it is still early days for gnash.
