Would the bad Youtube support on the laptop have something to do with the software being used so far is Gnash and that might not have as good a performance for playing Flash video files that an official Flash player for Linux by Adobe?
<br><br>Is the problem that Adobe's Flash player for Linux is not open-source that it is not included in the laptop?<br><br>Are there some efforts underway to convince Adobe to contribute a better Flash player for the XO or are there hopes that Gnash will work better in future versions that can be automatically pushed out as a software update to all XO laptops?
<br><br>Otherwise, what is the resolution and bitrate supported for Mpeg4, Ogg Theora and other formarts?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 30, 2007 11:04 PM, John Kintree <<a href="mailto:jkintree@swbell.net">jkintree@swbell.net
