Ok, found where this problem comes from. (and a temporary tweek to temporary fix it)
First, I found that page: http://plosquare.blogspot.com/2011/01/fullscreen-flash-player-on-debian-lenny.html That gave a partially wrong explanation about this matter. To sum it up, it said it had something to do with 32bit and 64bit ... and that was not true. I've got the problem on a 100% 32bit old computer: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2500+ 1.8 Ghz NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] Debian lenny. And I already had the libgtk2 installed. But indeed, the version of the stable lenny repository seems to lack some symbols. I added the backports to my source.list: deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main contrib non-free And tried to install the (32bits) version from backports: apt-get update apt-get --reinstall -t lenny-backports install libgtk2.0-0 And that solved the matter. Now, when trying to go fullscreen on any flash video-streaming site, it works. I suggest that the package in lenny repository would be fixed. Hoping that that will help you, Regards ___ Pierre-Marie LANSAC.
