Not sure why. Some basic flash videos work fine in all 3, but some flash files only work on the Intel 945GM-based laptop. All 3 computers are running identical 8.0-current and ports (all ports were built on one of the systems and packaged, then installed on the other 2). This is gnash-devel. YMMV... -- DE
