Video GLX & DRI
Posted: Sun 25 Oct 2009, 22:24
I went back to Ubuntu Packages and downloaded these four files for glx and dri. I installed all 4, though I am not sure about the 3rd one, and hardinfo -> Display shows I am getting gl and, it says, dri. glxinfo shows that also, and glxgears shows a fast frame rate. Even without the mesa-utilities the log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log showed that the glx and dri files had installed properly. (Mesa-utilites has glxinfo and glxgears.)

FLASHPLAYER - Flashplayer 10.32 was crashing everything, in every browser. I certainly might have done something to cause that, but I do not know what. i reverted to 9.246 which seems to run OK. Does anyone else have the problem? I made a fresh install and the same thing happened--Seamonkey 1.1.18 with flash 10.32 crashed at the adobe test flash player site.
ALSAWIZARD - Alsawizard does not seem to run correctly. I have realtek audio on the motherboard and an audigy pci card and I have previously used alsawizard to select the audigy card, but when I enter #alsawizard in a terminal, I get some kind of message in a rectangular yellow-orange box which goes away too fast to read and then back to the prompt. The onboard audio is working, it's just not the one I want.
