I announced Quirky 003 here:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01312

003 has a pretty radical architecture for multimedia. See blog posts:

Anyone wanting to pitch in an help test and improve this new architecture, you're welcome!

I have started this thread for any feedback related to Quirky 003.

Ah ha, now we have the critical motive: opera10.10-portable fails to recognise the swfdec plugin*%!...
But opera fans will not be railroaded into using seamonkey so easily as opera can add additional plugin paths outside of the quirkysave, and play the omelette.swf regardless ho ho ho

using new Quirky
I have found that when going to a new version of Quirky, that you need to start fresh. It does not play well with anything that is from an earlier Quirky. If you remove any saved Quirky sfs files or hard drive installs and start fresh, allot of the problems that you are having will not happen.

Barry: do not know if this should have to be done, but I have had much better luck getting things to work, by doing a clean fresh install, with each new Quirky.

Start fresh
Yeah, each of these Quirky builds is so different, that it is better to start fresh each time.

I'll only start paying attention to upgradeability when/if Quirky gets to alpha or beta status.

Hi I'm just wondering why Quirky2&3 both for some odd reason gives a black background behind the menu icons, is this on purpose? I tried to fix it by changing jwm, xdgmenus and nothing, is libpng faulty? am I overlooking a setting?, is it xorg? whats up with it?.

Icons are normal here on Quirky 003.

As I posted on the blog, 003 is the first Quirky to allow the correct resolution with my onboard Intel 810 graphics.....

hmmm I'm starting to think its a Xorg issue, never had before with other puppy versions.

(cough)
perhaps we could have the default keyboard set to australian keyboard (doesnt even exist in the menu at present)and similarly, the default language set to okka-ish or if you must australian english. time zone defaults are ok.

ttuuxx, I had this issue here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=46266

So it appeared with Ati-cards, after upgrading Puppys inbuilt xserver 1.5 to 1.6.3, and adding also the updated libdrm and xorg drivers, and opengl (mesa).

I wonder, which of these components causes the black icon backgrounds...

Barry,

I'm having slow screen redraw / jerky video playback after using xrandr to rotate the screen by 90 degree on a Intel 945GM Platform. I'm using VLC 0.9.2 to do the video playback.

Any idea what can be done to improve the situation?

Attached is the xorg log file.

Thanks
