[OLPC-devel] Re: ask for policy on .swf support on OLPC

[supat at supat.eu.org]

Dear Jim Gettys,

Thank you much on your kind attendtion/suggession.

I don't think it was a bug but hardware's feature.

I have long experiance with inappropriate hardwares ranging from hard 
disk, VGA, CDROM, eth0, ... , processor.

In the year 1995 while 90% + of pc in my university cannot play movies 
from CD (2x) but my pentium 90 at that time play it w/o problem.

That is reason I develop NGUD usb drive.
Before I buy any hardwares I must test it using NGUD CD or NGUD usb, If it 
was run smoothly then I will buy it.

In this case, the features I found are:

1. network crash so often but after upgrade to Linux BIOS I do not need to 
probe the eth0 any more (got improve)

2. playing huge movie using Mplayer cause no problem on both eth0 and VGA 
but playing .swf using browser plug-in always cause serious problem.

(Playing small .swf cause no problem on both eth0 and VGA)

Regards,
supat
