[ydl-gen] Updating YDL 5.0 to 5.0.2 on a PS3

[Warren Nagourney]

Hello,

I tried to update YDL 5.0 to 5.0.2 on my PS3 using yum and typing (as  
root) "yum update". After the system spent about an hour downloading  
files (about 500 megs), it failed the transaction test on some  
trivial file (YDL-logos or something like that) and the update  
aborted. Can someone suggest how I can make the update process work?  
Do I need to download the files again, or do they reside somewhere on  
the HD?

In another unrelated area, has anyone been able to make the gnash  
plugin work in Firefox? The standalone program seems to work, but the  
plugin doesn't: I get an endless "loading plugin" (or something like  
this) message. I have "libgnash.so" in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, as  
required (it was even worse in the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins  
directory - it wasn't recognized as a plugin).

Finally, I hear some favorable "rumblings" in ps2dev.org about  
successful (and legal) hacks of the RSX. One person has even written  
a modified xorg which uses the hardware blitter and supposedly speeds  
up window moving, etc. This latter is much desired, as currently the  
system is painful on the eyes when moving windows (I wonder whether  
they will hack the various timers in the RSX, allowing a larger  
variety of monitors to be used?) It is interesting that my greatest  
need is 2D acceleration, since my numerous OpenGL 3D apps work very  
well without acceleration (this surprised me).

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
