Turbopup Xtreme screenshots replaced with images of sleeping kitties?

LOL

[EDIT] It's the year 2011 and Turbopup is still alive and kicking (the thread has reached almost 200 000 views !) :D

Use Yahoo Mail Classic. Stay away from the Modern interface, it doesn't work with Opera.

Yahoo Mail Modern not working is Yahoo!'s fault, not Opera's.

@Michalis: - #2 is a well-known crossplatform issue. It occurs under Windows and Mac OS as well. I really hate that bug, since it renders many sites unusable (I always browse web sites with the zoom value set to 150%) :( Try http://news.cnet.com for example to experience even worse image corruption ...

1133 is the best :)

(don't use the later builds [1136, 1140] - they're much worse)

Use Opera. Works like a charm. No need to mess with UA strings :)

Now where's Sneekylinux to post a review of this puppy (Turbopup Xtreme)?

The video he posted on YouTube is of a very old alpha version of the fat Turbopup.

A lot has changed since then. Turbopup Xtreme is a totally different dog :)

Turbopup 4.2alpha3a is a very old release.

Try the latest one --> Turbopup Xtreme v1.0

It's lighter, faster and more up-to-date.

panzerpuppy, I had to patch it to compile with 2.6.34. I think I found the patches on the Arch forums. I heard 10.7 no longer needs patching (it has k2.6.34 and XServer 1.8 support) : ...this driver supports Linux 2.6.34/2.6.35 and Xserver 1.8 (haven't tried with 1.9) Can you try Catalyst 10.7, see...

@kirk: Does the official AMD Catalyst driver installer work in FatDog64? I mean, does the installer compile the kernel module(s) correctly? (it returns an error in Quirky) Can you try the same in Quirky and see what's the problem? I'd love to use the latest Catalyst 10.7 in both FatDog64 and Quirky.

What I need is a lightweight, but cutting-edge 32-bit puppy that works on 32-bit CPUs and has SMP (multithreading) support. Quirky is the only choice at the moment. The only problem is ATI Catalyst doesn't install on it :( Why 32-bit CPU support? It's for those PCs with a fairly old Pentium 4 (HT) o...

Fatdog64 has an ati-catalyst-10.5.pet, I installed that in fatdog64 and my ATI Mobility Radeon hd 5470 works great with it. Nexuiz plays well even. Have you tried the same thing in Quirky ? FatDog64 is not another Quirky (there's a huge difference). Does the official installer from AMD work in FatD...

Has anyone managed to successfully* install the ATI Catalyst (fglrx) driver in Quirky?

*successfully = with working 2D acceleration / DRI / OpenGL support

Sorry guys, but I had enough of these problems... I'm dumping Linux (Quirky) and going back to bloated Windows 7 land where everything 'just works' :( Without the proprietary ATI driver, I can't even use Quirky Linux on 2 of my boxes (with modern ATI hardware). The open-source 'radeon' driver is hor...

Turbopup Xtreme is extremely efficient, great for audio as well, but there's one (major) drawback - it's kernel is optimised for single core PCs. With a modern PC which has multiple cores (and hyper threading), you'll only be able to utilise one core / one thread. For single core machines and old/sl...

Puppy on a diet: refuses to see FAT :o That's really bad :( No FAT32 support = no go. (I use FAT32 partitions exclusively with Puppy for compatibility with Windows). EXT2 has bad performance under Windows (needs a third-party driver) and NTFS is risky (+ has bad performance) under Linux. FAT32 = be...
