Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Don't know if this is a bug; no one else has mentioned it yet. When using FF on Lupu, when I scroll up or down fast enough on some but not all sites, the text either smears badly or leaves missing lines. Ironically, this forum site is one that does it.

FF under 4.3.1 does not do this. Seamonkey under Lupu does not do this.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I just got Lupu working on another computer and FF does not exhibit this problem there. The older computer is slightly slower, a AMD Sempron around 2Ghz and 1 MB memory, so not all that slow. I would blame Firefox, but this does not happen with FF under 4.3.1 on the same computer.

I have a strange occurrence with Lucid. With Quirky 1.10, the nv xorg driver works great. But, with Lucid, it fails and I have to use the proprietary nvidia pet. I thought both had the same xorg drivers. I am using an Acer Aspire Revo (nvidia ion chip set) with AOC LCD (1360 by 768). I will keep trying things to see if I can more information on the difference between the two distributions and the use of the nv driver. Thanks for Lucid, it is nice and will be better in the future.

have a acer v3700gx and using the onboard ibm video;
monitor is an old hp p1120 that although will run at 85hz I usually run at 48.4khz/ 60 hz as the unit squeels at 85;
screen set at 1024x786x24bit.

problems:-

XORG - screen only uses middle bit, about an inch/25mm blank at edges (no i won't change the screen width settings, else I have to change them back for the other four partition versions that work OK!)

xvesa - screen pushed to the right and tries to run at 85hz, won't allow me to do anything to change it except screen setting (640, 800, etc). Older versions use xvesa at 60hz, which is ok!

Any sugestions please?

I tryed to full install Lupu 5.0 and it works well with few excepitions after I changed the I810 chipset in Intel:
1) I see the mouse arrow splitted in three in horizontal direction and the left arrow is the valid one. A lot of change in chipset gives the same result:?
2) Seamonkey 2.0.4 was the chosen browser but when its window is in fullscreen mode and the page is scrolled using the up/down arrows of the vertical bar the page loses graphic integrity and some rows becomes not readable.
Any hint, please?

[quote="chrismt"]I used all the Network wizards but could not get my internet connection to work.

I have lupu-500

I have an old toshiba laptop and tried following pcmcia network adapters:
All D-link:

DFE-670TXD ethernet cable

DFE-690TXD ethernet cable (green light and almost worked)

DWL-610 wireless (worked for a short period)

I have been able to use DFE-670TXD on earlier puppies

I happen just to day to have gotten a brand new Thomson gateway from my Internet Service Provider as I am switching to combined broadband -and broadband telephony, but my other 3 computers work okay.

When I tried the DFE-690TXD the dialing tone of the telephone disappeared several times, and I had to reset the gateway.

Sometimes, not always, Seamonkey fails to go to the home page specified in Preferences. It just shows a blank page with no URL shown. In fact, I believe it fails to go to any of the "browser startup" options selected, except for blank page. It seems to correct itself after a while, but I don't know what corrects it. Playing with the startup options and homepage doesn't do anything when it is acting up.

This may be Seamonkey problem I guess, but I never had it happen in 4.3.1.
