    Hi, I know you've said your RDD has a Radeon x1950xt, but do you have an nVidia card to test on? The latest release of the patch causes horrendous stuttering while scrolling with my GeForce 6600. This can be observed in FF 45.9 ESR, as well as Pale Moon 27.

    D'oh. I forgot all about the stupid name change

    Thanks for checking it out. I'll test the newest version this evening. On a somewhat unrelated note, Firefox Quantum appears to be capable of leveraging WebGL on almost any GPU, regardless of DirectX version support (it uses OpenGL when a DX11 GPU is not present). Under Windows 7, I can achieve silky smooth scrolling, and even 720p video playback with a Pentium 4 670, and a 32MB Radeon 7500. I've tested this on a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 as well, and observed the similar results.

    I'm using the PM28 patch on my Thinkpad T42p with a 2GHz Pentium M, 2GB of DDR, and a Radeon FireGL T2 GPU. Scrolling speed does some to be much improved, but I did notice that the feedback score element is missing when I hover over my username on the eBay landing page. I have highlighted the general area where it is normally displayed, in the picture provided. Not a deal breaker, but worth taking note of IMHO.

    The patch works fine on all of my single core machines. Your inability to use the software correctly is not the authors fault Stop projecting.

    When is flat everything to die? Modern user interfaces have a serious lack of soul.

    This iBook G4 features the Radeon Mobility 9550 32MB. I have used the enforcer yet, but it is on my docket of things to do today. I can confirm what you've stated about Intel GMA performing well in webgl. In my experience, it performs EXTREMELY well, and considering the low power consumption, I actually prefer Intel GMA in older laptops, as opposed to dedicated GPU's due to excellent webgl performance, low power consumption, and excellent reliability (old laptops were plagued by GPU BGA issues).

    I haven't seen any feedback regarding testing on OSX PPC, so I figured I'd chime in here. Prior to applying the UOC patch, TenFourFox was borderline unusable, even on the fastest Powerbook / iBook laptops. After doing so, I've noticed quite a big uptick in performance, especially while scrolling! So, with that being said, double thanks, @looking4awayout!

    That’s a question for RT to answer. I’m using a modern Linux distro, so I have access to newer libraries, etc, that may not be available for XP. But then again, he’s already demonstrated that these browsers can be built for XP, so common sense tells me dependencies shouldn’t be an issue..
  10. sparty411
    That would be neat. NM28 builds for me as well here. It's fast enough out of the box, that I don't really need to do much about:config fiddling. Umatrix will suffice.
  11. sparty411
    I'm using Umatrix to block most unnecessary scripts, but you're right, it does choke quite badly on JS heavy sites. Still leaps and bounds faster than the SSE only version of Quantum that ships with antiX! That one really takes the cake
  12. sparty411
    I was able to get UXP / Serpent to build ok for SSE only processors. Pic related! Thanks for your help :)
  13. sparty411
    I did And it crashes every time it tries to make an HTTPS connection. Riccardo Mottolla told me he tried a no SSE2 build, and it does the same exact thing. It works just fine on AMD64 Linux though.
  14. sparty411
    I don’t need to specify -mno-sse2?
  15. sparty411
    Hey @roytam1, do you think you might be able to give me an example .mozconfig to do a no SSE2 build of Arctic Fox on Linux? I’m having trouble finding a list of compiler options I should be using to get a desired result.
  16. sparty411
    Thank you for compiling all of these together in one post for me! Very helpful!

    Does ClamAV still receive definition updates? Would that suffice?
  18. sparty411
    Understood The FUD these days is strong, and has made me question my choice of OS. I do intend to continue using XP well into the foreseeable future, but wanted input in regards to whether or not I was being irresponsible by continuing to use it well past EOS.
  19. sparty411
    The title says it all. I'm wondering what the consensus is around here, in regards to how secure XP is as a daily driver, now that POSReady 2009 updates are finished. I've disabled remote desktop, enabled Windows firewall, enabled my routers firewall.. What are your thoughts? What can I do to lock XP down, security wise?
  20. sparty411
    None of the about:config tweaks listed above improve performance at all for me, on my Radeon 9600 Pro.
  21. sparty411
    Well, it can’t possibly get any worse. Interestingly enough, I get excellent HW acceleration on my Latitude 100L with a 2.66 GHz Pentium 4 mobile 2GB DDR, and Intel integrates graphics. It’s even faster with Quantum in Debian.
  22. sparty411
    I have a plethora of ATI / Nvidia AGP cards that I fiddle around with. I've been using the Nvidia cards lately, due to the HW accel problem with ATI. I'll test it out on a Radeon 9600.
  23. sparty411
    Wow, great work! I'll be sure to give it a go later on, and report back.
  24. sparty411
    What an insufferable craphead. What is his deal?
  25. sparty411
    This has worked brilliantly for me on my Pentium iii LAtitude C810, and Athlon XP desktop! Why in the world do older Mozilla browsers have hardware accelerated web rendering disabled by default? It's a game changer!
