Lew, are you running F8?
No, F7. Due to a hardware failure I do not have a working DVD ROM for a
few days.
Did you do the Xinerama fix?
No. Link?
Are you using FF 2.0.0.9?
2.0.0.8
F7 is a little different. The Xinerama fix is specific to F8. With F7
or F8 and Sun's Java you need to have loaded compat-libstdc++-33. The
plugin will show in 'about:plugins' but won't work without the library
above. I really like using the JPackage RPMs to set up the alternatives.
I've posted a page for setting up Sun Java on F8;

I don't know why this has to be so hard but it is. You would think that
Sun would help out a little and I guess they are with the open source
business. F8 has icedtea, which is the open source Java. It's missing
Java Sound but other than that seems to work although I'm having some
applet problems with it.
