Hello,
First of all, I have to admit I'm not really sure I've been posting in the right section. If that's the case, could a mod please lock this thread ? I'll post in the right one then. Thanks.
So this is it: I've been running Arch for few weeks, and I've always been able to solve problems using my friend Google, but as I can't have the smallest clue on what's going on right now, I'll ask for help here.
My problem is pretty simple: flashplugin was working perfectly (fullscreen, youtube seeking, links, everything was fine). Then I installed wine, and I couldn't get any fullscreen anymore on Youtube (when I try to get fullscreen, the video just goes gray and nothing goes fullscreen). Then I removed wine, and flash fullscreen was fully functional again, which makes me think that wine (or one of its dependancies) is messing with my flashplugin.
I don't think it's a common problem (or I'd be able to find some people on the Web that have the same problem), so my guess is that I've done something wrong while installing my system, but I can't go any further since I'm pretty much a noob.
Here's the relevant information I can think of.
Laptop Dell XPS M1530
GPU nVidia 8600M GT
Archlinux 64 bits.
Browser : Chromium (stable).
Adobe flashplugin 32 bits (got it on multilib).
Wine (I suppose it's 32 bits).
nVidia's drivers (couldn't get nouveau to work).
Can someone help me to understand what's going on ?
If you have any question, need any additional information, just ask.
Thanks in advance,
Karl.

it's a strange problem i don't understand how wine can affect flashplugin behavior ?

My guess is that since they both are from [multilib] and use specific 32 bits libs, something goes wrong. But I can't tell for sure.

Well, I'm not sure.
But if you mean uncommenting a line in the default /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, I tried and it didn't work either.

Since I hadn't installed any windows program yet, there isn't such a directory.
I was told to try again with --asdeps option in pacman and see the packages that make it go wrong. I'll give it a shot soon.
Edit. Seems to work now. I honestly don't get it, but uninstalling everything, then installing --asdeps -S flashplugin and then installing --asdeps -S wine fixed my issue. Weird, though.
