strange jerky video in youtube (boot with pfix=ram)
I have now 1GB of RAM.
I noticed jerky video when playing from youtube owl city fireflies At that moment the temperature got high and warnings are issued. The laptop is very slow then.
I looked at some other video's and I didn't see that issue, until I played Beyonce Sweat Dreams (Official Music Video) + Lyrics where I had he same issue.

I was aware of the xf86-video-ati-6.13.0-q1 package and installed it and restarted X.
It didn't improve the issue. These two video's were still jerky.

Then I had the idea to replace, in xorg.conf, the radeon driver by the vesa driver, restarted X and did the tests again.
This time the video's played ok, but the laptop still runs hot.

Even when typing this, the fan is going often to cool the laptop.

So I don't know if this jerky video issue is a bug or not, but I wanted to report and also that vesa seems to make the video's run better.
Don't know what the effect of vesa is on my Ati mobility Radeon 7500 controller in comparison with the radeon driver.

GUI-version of the Quirky 1.2 "builtin packages remover"

- Menu-entry in Utility
- My first steps on gtkdialog, so ...
- Backup your save-file before using this

See what you did in the maps:
/root/my-applications/bin/remove_builtin_files/backup
/root/my-applications/bin/remove_builtin_files/removed

(My bad English: buildin must be builtin... )

Quirky 112 is a wonderful piece of art. Thank you Barry.

It detects nVidia graphics right out of the box. And...the pppoe connection is retained during reboots. I just had to symlink /usr/sbin/pppoe-start_shell to /root/Startup and it works. Very happy about it.

YET...there is still one problem with pppoe. The once established pppoe connection turns itself off during longer inactive periods.
E.g. when I get my emails and then write a lengthy reply. It is not possible to send the answer because the connection has shut off while I was writing.
This seems to be a new bug and was not present in older Puppies (421, 431, 432).

Hi,

This may have been here for a while, this JWM configuration option "Apply Current GTK theme to JWM" is buggy. In the file /usr/local/jwmconfig2/gtk2jwm:

I have made a few minor changes to pdict (the dict GUI). The following functions are added

At first run a hidden configuration file /root/.dict_dbs is created. The file contains a list of all dict databases.

A config button added, so you can edit your configuration file and save databases of interest.

For "perhaps you mean" help, stderr output is added to the result window.

Tried your new xsane pet with my HP 5280 usb all-in-one. It did not work, cannot find a scanner, even after unplugging and replacing the usb cable. Scanner works fine with ubuntu/Kubuntu.

However, everything else is working great with your latest Quirky. It's solid and very fast on my hardware.

Thanks,
Jim

Love Quirky but can only run it for a few mins as it overheats CPU
