Hi,

Did you (Niki) try to d/load any flv from youtube.com and run it with
(s)mplayer for example?

Perhaps try to change video driver or set up VBox, install CentOS in it,
and then smplayer. VBox has excellent vesa driver and CentOS is
very good host to run VBox with other systems.

What did google say when asked for black flash film frames?

Regards
