[gentoo-user] Macromedia Flash on AMD64

[Mark Knecht <markknecht@gmail.com>]

Hi,
   Is Flash supposed to be fully supported on the AMD64 platform? I
don't know where to find out info like this.

   It seems I have Flash installed but on some sites Firefox tells me
that it finds no suitable plugin, such as the top part of this site:

When I go through the guided format to get a plugin it eventually
leads me to Macromedia's site, but I do have netscape-flash installed:

lightning ~ # emerge -pv netscape-flash

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!

   As a second question Neil and someone else said the other day that
certain multimedia things didn't work on AMD64. Where could I find out
what is and is not supported?

Thanks,
Mark
