The Flash plugin is one issue.  The other is that I've never gotten a
Java plugin to work for amd64.

When Gutsy releases, I'll reformat this laptop to x86.  That should
be good for a couple of days of lost productivity... :-(

Meanwhile, anyone using the avivo X driver?  (open source driver for
recent ATI video chips/cards)  I've tried it.  It works well for the
main display but I can't get my external monitor to light up.
