Yesterday the Mandriva Online program showed some updated fglrx packages... so I let the program download and update my system.

But now I don'have direct rendering anymore, I tried to reinstall the lateste ATI drivers drivers but that did not solve the problem.

Any idea how to get direct rendering back, or remove the latest updates of fglrx?

On another but different and extremely important point. I see you are using RAID-0. I guess you know that this is good for faster response, I am not certain that you know that if either of your hard drives was to fail then you will lose your OS and ALL of your data and you cannot recover any of it. This is because the data is striped to the HDDs alternately constantly.

I perfectly know what the risks of RAID-0 are, but thanks for the pointer

This is my workstation which just needs to be fast, (that's why there is only 2x160GB SATA WD Enterprise RE2 discs in that box) There is no data storage except some downloaded installers and useless images. My docs and data are on my server which is running hardware RAID-3 (3x320GB WD Enterprise RE2, 2 discs with 1 parity) and the important data server is backupped off-site to my Dell bladeserver (running hardware RAID-1) in a big datacenter.

And for the unfortunate case that I need to reinstall Mandriva 2008.0, that is just good excercise ;)

B)

Back on-topic.

Gnash reports some 7 or more missing devlopment components so I tried to get swf-dec going:

./configure:

.

.

.

.

checking for GLIB... no

configure: error: glib-2.0, gobject-2.0 and gthread-2.0 >= 2.12 are required to build swfdec

[root@localhost swfdec-0.5.5]# urpmi glib

Package lib64glib1.2-1.2.10-18mdv2008.0.x86_64 is already installed

[root@localhost swfdec-0.5.5]# urpmi gobject

Package python-gobject-2.14.0-2mdv2008.0.x86_64 is already installed

[root@localhost swfdec-0.5.5]# urpmi gthread

No package named gthread

(easy-urpmi is configured)

Is that lib64glib1.2 the package swf-dec needs?

I searched sites like rpmfind but I couldn't find a package named gthread-2.0

You should tell from the start you're using the 64-bit version.

Check my sig, there is all the info about my system.

Ok, I'll give gnash or swfdec a shot.

I'll keep you updated B)

Both packages are installed.

Any ideas left?

Any idea where to go to possibly find an answer then?

No idea's what to check or what to doto get this annoying bug out of my way? :unsure:

Playing this works... so it must be the flashplayer(config) that does't work.

Nobody? :sad:

Updating to the last version (Version: 9,0,115,0) didn't solve it.

I have a Intel HDA soundcard with optical out hooked to my surroundset. card is installed with the latest ALSA driver and works ok. Sound of Mandriva starting and closing, music thru Amarok.. All works just fine but I can seem to get sound working in firefox or konqueror. (no sound with playing youtube movies for example)

I tried starting with aoss firefox fiddle with the suspend to idle and duplex settings of KDE. All sliders of kmix are at max and green on/off buttons set to on.

Any ideas what I can do to get sound from my browser?
