Hi yellodog,yellodog wrote:Finally found time to test it. Adding these lines to xorg.conf seems to have a positive effect indeed (graphics chip: S3 ProSavage, interesting, Puppy 2.14X supports this at all!). At least it feels so. I also use to look at the CPU-monitor in the sys-tray, CPU-usage seems to be generally lower watching clips. Hard to tell though, because sometimes it goes up again too ... After all, I think, it did something. So, thank you very much!clarf wrote:The slow problem playing youtube videos on Puppy 2.14X could be related to the old Xorg version used. You could try to tune the xorg configuration file, please read my post about the test I made on 2.14X http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50428.
I`m pleased to know that these xorg settings helped you...
I attach a new pet that includes an updated xorgwizard script that automatically adds to the xorg.conf file, the composite extensions and the safe acceleration options for video.
In this way if you lose your custom xorg.conf file or after reboot you will have these options enabled by default.
The new options are>
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
All 214X users should try it... and of course feedback about the change.
