two indipendent ports exists for amigaos 4 and 3.x. 3.x is a sdl port and as far i know its currently under development. just have to look for last public version myself.

edit: hmm, hope this is last public version:

netsurf doesnt work on 24bit screen depth. this is your probllem certainly. and as for ram it should start with 16mb. not that an memory eater as owb.

edit. do you have gfx card at all? sdl apps will not work on amiga screens.

is this a wonder that os4 version is faster? even your 604 ppc has sure few more mhz than your 060 even if this was not the only thing that counts? mg, it becomes really boring to preach to all the complainers to switch from 24 to 16bit again and again. artur, will you release the new version already, so that it stops?

[wawrzon]

cool, cant wait till it has arrived.

having set workbench to 16 bit netsurf opens a 32bit fullscreen with a yellowish taint, assume it must be argb, since it is the pixelformat that always gives this effect with sdl based apps on my voodoo, switching between screens gives strange color artefacts sometimes. i would propose to use bgra mode as default if possible. is it possible to set it somewhere? not in options file at least.

edit: have first rendering issues but will report directly to the netsurf dev team. all in all seems workig nice, even scrollbars are mouse draggable now. some solution for fast scrolling would be a major step forward, but probably not within sdl, i wonder how its done on ibrowse?

im afraid it will not work at this time. the new netsurf works only on 32 bit screen depth. if the worbench is set to lower than that netsurf opens its own 32 bit screen. picasso doesnt support depths beyond 24bit afair which would be the reason why netsurf fails to start. using uae is easy to forget about it.

edit:btw, another bug, that has been there all the time i recall. the tcpip stack has to be run before the netsurf. otherwise netsurf will not establish connection,if miami was ran afterwards. can anyone confirm?

[wawrzon]

didnt have a crash or freeze as yet. the context cursor is ugly?!;P
