So a gotcha here is mplayer, since you mentioned it. Make sure that you're running a patched version of mplayer[0]. Can't say much about Flash, since I haven't experienced the symptom myself with it (and source not being open, etc.). -Dan [0] at least patched in the latest stable Mandriva and development Ubuntu versions, e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482408
