Which Puppy for machine with Celeron N3050 CPU/GPU?

[norgo]

3) Slacko64 (kernel 4.1.11, modesseting driver for GPU, mplayer)
have got some errors that i don't have driver for GPU and my machine is too slow for this movie
i tried to synchronize audio with video using +/- keys, it wasn't perfect but for quick movie previewing isn't bad
I will test Slacko64 6.9.9.9 soon.

I'm not surprised about poor video performance.
A really terrible combination.

You could try to use GPU hardware decoding ( GPU is capable for it )
but you will need for this:

1. usage of intel driver
2. a video player compiled with VAAPI support ( mpv should have VAAPI support by default ). BUT ( mplayer doesn't support VAAPI at all, and the installed version in Slacko also doesn't support VDPAU ) so this version won't make you happy
3. the intel VA API ( 3 packages libva, libva-intel-driver, libva-utils)

if you are interested in I've compiled version 1.8.2 under Slacko700RC3 (32bit)
If the output of vainfo looks like this you have a good chance that hardwaredecoding will work.

hi puppy_apprentice

see if this helps with your internet.
open /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules in geany and add

Code: Select all

# Huawei E160
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0158", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1003", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

add it just before the end above LABEL="modeswitch_rules_end"

and then reboot

Doesn't work ;(
I had the same problem with Slacko 6.3 on my old laptop but there even PupDial didn't work.

I've found some info about graphics issues with Intel GPU driver.

I think that it is solution for my problem with buttons labels in Xenial.

I will test radky solution for Palemoon browser:
