You may want to use the Mandrake/Mandriva mailing lists and forums to find
assistance.

 http://www.mandriva.com/support/mdkresources
 http://www.mandriva.com/support/newsgroups

To play Flash files, you may want to install
http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/ or http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/ or
use the proprietary version from http://www.macromedia.com/.

You may also want to use google to find assistance and also look for a
Linux users group within your area and join their mailing list for
assistance.

The lists.freedesktop.org xorg list is the wrong list to receive
assistance with this problem.

Good luck,
