Just for the record: I've linux-flashplugin7 with native Firefox working
almost flawlessly (at least for my uses). Same with mplayer - I'm using
amd64 for about 2 years now, and all this time mplayer was my choice
(working choice :)) for video/audio. Nvidia binary drivers are the only
thing, which I'm missing - can't get my dual-head Nvidia card to work
with Xinerama.
