Re: can't get multimedia working with any browser



Hi Peter,
I would be happy to try the cvs release. However, is the
version in cvs still compatible with Gnome 2.8?
Alot of us out here are running Fedora 3 or Mandriva latest, and 2.10 is
still on the way.
I would hate to have to do a major upgrade/compile of gnome since i find 2.8
reasonable with accessibility, but the gnopernicus constant speech issues
makes me want to resolve that problem asap.
Thanks.
