I have a Pentium running Etch with Gnome as the desktop. I use Iceweasel 2.0.0.14 as the browser. I want to be able to view Flash movies, so I used Synaptic to get the Etch backport of mozilla-plugin-gnash from www.backports.org (see my /etc/apt/preferences file below). The plugin doesn't work on two sites that I tried, youtube.com, and lulu.tv. On youtube.com, in the place where the movie should play, there is a white area. Nothing happens. On lulu.tv, things go a little further. The frame of the movie screen and its controls come up, and the sound plays, but the screen stays black with a small green outlined square in the upper left. At the end of the video, the screen turns orange. Has anyone else tried to use the gnash from www.backports.org?
