Retrovol artifacts

#1 Post by zekebaby »

Wary 5.1.2 on a Toughbook CF-T2 using frugal install and default video driver shows some weird Retrovol artifacting on certain websites.

For instance, if I leave the volume control vertical bar on-screen, go to http://www.mobileread.com and scroll the page up and down briskly using the mouse wheel, Retrovol will randomly leave shrapnel on the screen (i.e. incomplete redraw of the webpage).

Not a serious problem at all, not even an annoyance.

Keep up the good work on Wary development; it's keeping this old classic laptop alive!

At least Lucid Puppy 520 and Quirky 1.2 have the same behaviour on SeaMonkey. Not only retrovol, the middle button graphic to scroll down the page drags parts of the rendered screen...
Wondering why...
High Graphics? Drivers? Browser's rendering engine?

Before Retrovol even appeared, I had one I can take even further.
In Puppy 4.31, I had the task bar volume slider displayed,
When I shut down and the terminal screen appeared during shutdown, an outline of the volume slider was also displayed.
And that outline has showed up ever since every time I shut down from running Puppy 4.31 on the Toshiba Laptop.

431 should have 'absvolume' and 'zmixer' .

The leftover of the retrovol slider is anoying but acceptable to me .

Retrovol is announced in the software section :

Retrovol 0.10 (Volume mixer)
