I was using Mate on Fedora 20, but it worked for me.  And with less
stuffing around than with Fedora 17, which required launching it from a
script, pasted below.  I think I may be using 32 bit OS on 20, though.
I can't remember.

#!/bin/bash

#  force 32 bit video for linux 1 compatiblity library for video for linux 2

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
