I've rewritten mtpaintsnapshot.sh so that the default folder
to save the screen capture image is the clipart
folder. This is a convenient feature for the user.

Download and extract the tar.gz files, and open the torrents with Transmission or your favourite torrent handler.

scsijon · Posted: Fri 18 Nov 2011, 21:39 Post subject: wary5.2.2 and glxgears

just a little note

using the intel driver, running 1024x768x24bits

observations on glxgears makes me wonder if what frames we are seeing rotating is right or just a subset of the fps being created

fps says it's running at a good speed, but what is being displayed is lousey.

on top of that, on the same machine, a full install runs slower than a frugal install.

however still slow against puppy528 by a factor of 2 or 2.5

wary522
acer travelmate 4670, 1.6GHz dual core, 1GB ram
startup: video ok, wifi ok, flash ok, shiny!

only one problem:
compiling Vim does not find gtk,
so compiles the X11-Athena GUI
rather than the gtk GUI.
It is ok, but not as good.

All other compiled apps ok.

rary flsynclient crashes to cli

flsynclient

Selecting any 'calibrate' trackpad crashes racy to the cli.

Typing 'xwin' will restart racy.

wary flsynclient NO crash

'calibrate' does NOT crash wary to the cli.
but just like racy522, two finger or side scrolling do not work.

This Iblio thing makes me go nuts. I guess I am spoiled.
30 minutes to download a 130MB big iso? Naah that is too slow.
Maybe somebody can make a fast mirror with password or something Smile

Oh dear! The quick right click feature is back - deletes the icon from the desktop.
This was solved fairly recently?

OK - thanks a bunch - I forgot that ruse.
Now I'm having the lost Flash advisory. I cancelled it at first ask because I was doing stuff that I didn't want encumbered with Flash, but when I'd finished, couldn't recover the auto-flash pop-up?
Gee - it's all so unintuitive. Goodness knows what incomers make of it all !

VLC installed from PPM fails to play video files.
Last VLC-tolerant Wary was 5.1.3 (for me) - VLC plays everything there.

Mplayer runs fine in 5.2.2.

I normally use Puppy 4.3.1 but thought I'd like to try some programming in BaCon, so downloaded Wary 5.2.2 and Racy 5.2.2 but unable to get anything to run that uses GTK in either, even Barry's simple empty window prog. The non-windows stuff works OK.
Went back to Wary 5.1.3 which extolled the virtues of BaCon and that works perfectly.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it something to do with the problems that Barry has had with GTK recently?
