[mythtv-users] Flash on a diskless Zotac IONitx

Greetings

Once (just the once!!) I had "Internet Video" working on my remote Zotac
frontends. They are both minimal install diskless Gentoo (stable) systems
so there is no Firefox, KDE, Gnome or suchlike lurking.

Also the "News" plugin crashes regularly on any pages with Flash in them.

Currently running a 64bit kernel...
# uname -a
Linux zotac 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 28 14:34:10 NZST 2011
x86_64 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

(relevant?) Packages installed

media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20111116
www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.1.102.55
www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-r1
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-290.10
x11-libs/qt-core-4.7.4-r1

The backend, which has a full desktop install, is able to play stuff but
I've yet to work out how to get out of the YouTube display for example
(back doesn't do anything).

Since the version of Flash I'm now running should handle 64 bit, do I need
to nuke the nspluginwrapper and 32 bit emulation libraries to get it to
work or is the problem deeper.

Cheers
