11 Correct me if I'm wrong please but as I remember it everyone running
12 64-bit is running multi-lib unless they specifically choose a
13 no-multilib profile, correct?

15 Anyway, I suspect our systems are reasonably similar in terms of
16 capability, and for clarity, the only 64-bit machine I have any
17 troubles on, which are Flash & OpenGL/KDE, is my compute server that
18 runs VMs all day, and those problems only started when I added a
19 second Nvidia card. With a single card & 2 monitors everything was
20 fine. With 2 cards, both Nvidia but different models, and 3 monitors,
21 Flash in Firefox fails all the time, (But not Flash in Chrome where
22 it's built in) and some of the nice OpenGL features of KDE simply
23 don't operate any more.

25 If I had lots of money I'd look into an Nvidia card that supports 4
26 outputs but for now I'm stuck with what I've got!
