I have a similar hardware set-up to you I think, I do have full 64 bit
wide data path between
processor and memory. It runs Jaunty, KDE 4.2.2 with an NVIDIA graphics
board. And I use
Firefox.
I have yet to have a failure playing any video format I've found on the
web or in my local files
or Vista files!! I can solve the Guardian crosswords within FF(uses the
java applet,icedtea)
Complete list of Firefox add-ons, whether relevant or not
Extensions:
Java Console 6.0.02
Plugins:
Default plugin
Demo Print plugin for unix/linux
DivX Browser plugin ***
gxine starter plugin
IcedTea Java web browser plugin(6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7)
mplayerplug-in 3.55
Quicktime plug-in 7.4.5 ***
RealPlayer 9 ***
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22
Windows Media Player Plugin ***
*** all these seem to be catered for by MPlayer
I must be lucky, apart from the initial problem of installing
ia32-sun-java6-bin-6-13-1(amd 64)
which turned out to be a combination of a bug in KPackageKit and finger
trouble on my part
and is now installed. Everything else worked fine. An expert I ain't, so
the only thing I can
say is that I made sure I exhaustively searched the repositories for
what I wanted before using
the FF 'get add-ons' route as a last resort.
I've been away on holiday, and I've had my 'computer room' in bits
since, so apologies for the 'silence'
though I don't know whether the above is much help. My memory is sadly
moth-eaten these days
so I can't remember much detail but how and in what order I added these
plugins. I'm willing to
do what I can if there's anything you want though.
