These are too tall for 1024x600
BootManager
HardInfo
" -------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6----
The 'intel' video driver is very slow, Xvesa is faster.
But if I use Xvesa I can not turn off trackpad tapping, the trackpad is too sensitive.
The 'intel' driver was selected by 'Probe', is there a better/faster Xorg driver so that I can disable this twitchy trackpad.

Browser crashes Subject description: on Google |
|
Running 106 from USB stick (Universal installer: Wary) on Intel dual core.
Installed flash player when prompted.
Press search button (google search) in browser. Browser crashes and closes.
May be related to the animated Google theme.
Browser works okay on forum (static pages)
Problem remains when restarting (after creating save file).

There was a report that the 'save' desktop icon when booting off USB, is broken.
Yes, the message at the top won't go away. I fixed it, plus improved a couple other messages that popup at the top of screen.
The two attached scripts can be used in all recent Woof-built puppies, including Wary, Racy and Slacko.
Gunzip 'save2flash.gz' to /usr/sbin, make sure it is executable.
Gunzip 'pup_event_frontend_d.gz' to /sbin, make sure it is executable.
You then need to restart X.
Then click the 'save' icon on desktop. There should be a momentary yellow window in the center of the screen, then an orange message at top of screen while session is saving -- and you should see the LED flickering on your USB drive.

Yes, the 'intel' driver running on my old laptop, also seems sluggish. if I recall rightly, I upgraded the version of the 'intel' driver, from that used in earlier Wary's, that is, back in Wary 5.1.4 and earlier.
I will test an earlier 'intel' driver.

In case you guys haven't noticed, Wary now has tazoc's superb Lighthouse sys-info, so if you report a bug, you can also post a tarball of your hardware (no personal info will be in it -- tazoc's sys-info displays the contents of the tarball so that you can verify nothing personal in it before posting it).
Look in the System menu.
